[Bug][aup] Security audit of local workspace wrongly blocked before any code was scanned (req_011Cbww75DQDQTcgn1ryJFFF)

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

Why this is a false positive

Claude Code returned a Usage Policy block on a routine request to perform a security audit of a local code workspace the operator owns and controls. Security auditing of one's own codebase is a core, explicitly supported defensive-security use case, and the request contained no exploit development, targeting of third-party systems, or other policy-violating intent—only a generic instruction to review code for vulnerabilities. The block appears to be a keyword-level false positive triggered by the word "security," halting standard defensive work before any task context was even gathered.

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