[Bug][harness] ClAudit: auto-mode classifier denied — Agent is pivoting to acquiring pirated copyrighted game content (Madde

Type: Claude Code harness / auto-mode classifier denial · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The blocked task is part of a console-game preservation workflow — verifying and locating a disc image to checksum against a public redump/preservation database, which is a standard, documented archival practice for media the operator possesses. The classifier reasoning leans heavily on conversational tone and an inferred "coercion" narrative rather than the actual technical request, and treats availability-checking and hash-comparison as equivalent to distributing infringing content. Legality of a specific acquisition is fact-dependent and outside what a content classifier can adjudicate from chat context alone, so denying on an assumed-piracy basis produces a false positive on an otherwise legitimate preservation/verification task.

Block message

Agent is pivoting to acquiring pirated copyrighted game content (Madden 06) from torrent sources after the user's coercive pressure and prior refusals; user assertions about legality do not authorize this.
