[Bug][aup] Cyber safeguard wrongly blocked a routine general engineering request, halting legitimate work

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

Why this is a false positive

This block was triggered on a legitimate, in-scope request that falls within standard authorized work and contains no content that enables real-world harm. The cyber-related classifier appears to have fired on surface-level keywords or topic adjacency rather than on any actual malicious intent, capability, or target — there is no exploitation, unauthorized access, or harmful payload being requested. As a result, ordinary task progress was halted with no recoverable path other than abandoning the request, which indicates an over-broad detection threshold rather than a true policy violation.

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 2026-05-27T03:04:42.788Z.
