[Bug][aup] Cyber safeguard wrongly blocked replying to meaningless placeholder keystroke messages (req_011Cc478nJQgzqhbmoS4SXy7)

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

Why this is a false positive

This request was flagged by cyber-related safeguards, but the conversation leading up to it contained no security or cyber content of any kind—only a handful of short, accidental keystroke fragments with no coherent instruction or task. The classifier appears to have triggered on degenerate, near-empty input rather than on any actual request, producing a hard block where there was no substantive prompt to evaluate. This is a clear false positive that prevents normal use of the tool on legitimate, in-scope work.

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