[Bug][aup] Autonomous codebase review and refactoring request blocked as policy violation (req_011CbvL7QCL9pX1RTEBgPb91)

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

Why this is a false positive

A developer switched to a different model variant within Claude Code and requested a broad codebase review and refactoring pass — a routine software engineering workflow where the assistant reads source files and proposes or applies improvements. The safety block appears to have been triggered by the open-ended phrasing ("any/all upgrades"), which describes scope rather than intent, with no harmful, deceptive, or policy-violating content in the request or prior context. This is a false positive: the request falls squarely within Claude Code's intended use case of automated code analysis and improvement on a user-controlled local codebase.
