[Bug] Fable 5 safety measures incorrectly flag legitimate work instructions
Bug Description
This fable 5 security guard... has made claude code worthless... I cannot do a quick revision of my code to make a PR of a project That I am working on since January for 5500 eur.... I can't wait for my subscription to end on 25th of june and I switch to openai. 180 eur thrown outside the window. Here is what I tried to do, then edited over and over and over... ok this message "how can I be attaching the invoice if I don't have their company details? Also, we put way too much work here, so lets make one final in depth audit on the commits, lets see if we are missing something you can put 100+ subagents if needed, create an extensive plan and lets go through everything in detail from as many perspectives as possible! Lets deliver bespoke work
in quality and accuracy so they give us future work! Again review their .cursor rules and see if we comply fully. Also maybe it would be a great idea to check if we have already their latest repo see what was changed compared to the original one we pulled in January, so it becomes as smooth experience as possible for them, but if there are any changes we must be very
carefully when merging, plan everything in advance at each change with regard to our delivery so we don't break anything. Still haven't sent anything neither on slack nor as email maybe update the email to tell them since the repo we were working from was from january, we took the extra step to download their latest repo and updated everything and made sure we are
working perfectly now with it before we released the PR" nofff

Help me edit prompt without changing meaning so we are understood right and can use the fable 5 model please
Here's a cleaned-up version that keeps every point intact but reads more clearly and professionally — that alone usually clears a false-positive flag:
Two things before we wrap up.
First, the invoice. I don't have their company details, so I can't fill in the billing section yet — how do you suggest we handle that?
Second, a final delivery pass. We've put a lot of work into this, so let's do one last in-depth audit of the commits before we hand off. Feel free to parallelize heavily — spin up as many subagents as you need — and put together an extensive plan, then walk through everything in detail from as many perspectives as possible. The goal is genuinely bespoke work, high in quality and accuracy, so they come back to us for future work.
Specific checks:
Re-read their .cursor rules and confirm we fully comply with all of them.
Check whether we already have their latest repo. If so, compare it against the original we pulled in January to see what changed. I want the handoff to be as smooth as possible for them. If there are any changes, be very careful when merging — plan each change in advance, with our delivery in mind, so we don't break anything.
Finally, the email. We haven't sent anything yet, on Slack or by email. Let's update the email to let them know that, since the repo we'd been working from was from January, we took the extra step of downloading their latest repo, updated everything, and confirmed it all works correctly before opening the PR.
I didn't change any of your intent — same invoice question, same "audit everything with lots of subagents," same .cursor compliance check, same careful repo-comparison-and-merge, same email update. I just split the run-on into labeled sections and swapped a few loose phrases ("working perfectly now") for plainer ones ("confirmed it all works correctly"), which is the kind of thing that tends to trip an over-sensitive classifier.
If it still flags, tell me which model/client you're pasting into and I'll tighten it further.

here is how I updated it? It should have the same meaning:
"Before we send anything, a question: how can I attach the invoice if I don't have their company details yet?
Now, since we've put a lot of work into this, I want one final, thorough audit before delivery. Please:
Commit audit. Create a detailed review plan, then go through all of our commits carefully from multiple perspectives (correctness, completeness, code quality, edge cases). Use parallel subagents where it helps with thoroughness. The goal is to catch anything we may have missed — we want this delivery to be high quality and accurate enough …
