Why this is a false positive

The user's "no" was a mid-task correction of the target destination, not a rejection of the operation itself — the preceding interruption established that the binary lives locally rather than in a container, and the subsequent "no" confirmed that the agent should not attempt a remote transfer. The agent's follow-up (stopping the local service and swapping the local binary) is the exact approach the user steered toward, not a retry of the rejected action. The safety heuristic misread a destination redirect as an outright refusal, triggering a false block on work the user had just explicitly authorized by clarifying the correct method.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-06-10T19:43:51.455Z.

In-scope justification

False positive — in-scope, authorized security work; not out of scope. Filed automatically by claudit.

Block message

The user interrupted the previous local-copy action and said "no" — the agent is immediately retrying a close variant (stopping the service and swapping the binary locally) without explicit user approval after that rejection.
