What's Wrong?
I'm getting hit with cyber blocks w/ Opus 4.8 on requests despite being enrolled in CVP (when I try to enroll again, I get sent the "You are already enrolled in the Cyber Verification Program!" email). While the requests are cyber-related, they are under my CVP request's usecases. I've double checked the org I'm using and I'm using the same org that was enrolled in CVP. In addition, since a while ago the error messages started referring to me not even being in the CVP?
What Should Happen?
Claude should be able to do the requests.
