[BUG] False positives "API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup)"
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
When doing completly normal stuff or continuing projects claude-code often chokes on markdowns or code it has written itself and later reads with:
API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup) ...
What Should Happen?
claude code should not trigger and potentially lockup sessions with this behavior,
if it happens in the middle of a /compact it will destroy the session as the user then manually needs to edit the log to be able to restore the session.
