[Bug][aup] Cyber safeguard wrongly blocked a benign request after a few short typo-filled test messages
Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): general
Why this is a false positive
The keystrokes that preceded this block were a series of short, meaningless fragments ("1", "s23", "hgfj") containing no request, code, payload, or cyber-related content of any kind. There is nothing in the input that describes an attack, targets a system, or asks for offensive capability, so the cyber-safeguard trigger fired on noise rather than on any actual policy-relevant signal. This is a clear false positive that blocks a legitimate session over inadvertent or placeholder typing.
A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-05-27T03:05:10.549Z.

In-scope justification
