[Bug][harness] Auto-mode classifier blocks legitimate PR review post and merge on unrelated content

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

Why this is a false positive

The blocked exchange involves a code review and pull-request merge workflow for a tool that classifies AI-generated refusal messages by type — rate-limit errors, overload responses, and policy-denial strings — for logging and audit purposes. The classifier appears to have triggered on quoted pattern-match strings (e.g., fragments of safety-filter output used as literal regex targets in source code), treating them as if the conversation itself were generating or requesting blocked content rather than inspecting it analytically. This is a false positive: no restricted capability was invoked or requested; the entire session was standard software development — reading diffs, writing code review comments, and merging a pull request on a public repository.

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