[Bug][aup] Read-only security audit of local workspace files blocked before any scoping could begin (req_011CbwwGGVpCJEht9bWYQnMt)

Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

This block fired on a routine, authorized security audit of a local workspace — the request was simply to assess existing code for vulnerabilities, a standard defensive-security task explicitly permitted under the Usage Policy. No exploit development, targeting of third-party systems, or other prohibited activity was requested or implied; the entire exchange concerned reviewing the operator's own code in their own environment. The cyber-related safeguard appears to be keying on the word "security" rather than on any genuinely policy-violating intent, blocking benign defensive work.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
