[Bug][aup] Installing Linux X11/Wayland/Vulkan dev packages for a local GUI build flagged as policy violation

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

Why this is a false positive

This block fired during a routine local development task: building a desktop GUI from source on a [REDACTED] system, which required installing standard graphics and windowing development headers via the OS package manager. The single command flagged was an ordinary package-install of publicly available, mainstream graphics libraries — a benign, on-scope developer setup step with no security-sensitive, harmful, or policy-violating content. The refusal appears to be a misclassification of normal build-environment provisioning, and it broke an active, legitimate coding session with no recoverable rationale.

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 2026-05-26T05:48:33.276Z.
