[Bug][aup] ClAudit false-positive in [REDACTED] — #d668d7344f7c
Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): crypto-secrets
Why this is a false positive
The blocked request was part of routine network-engineering work: building a SOCKS proxy router and verifying its data-flow and load-balancing behavior by sending test traffic across multiple outbound paths and counting which one handled each request. No restricted activity was involved—the task is standard reverse-proxy/load-balancer development and distribution testing against neutral endpoints—yet the request was refused as a Usage Policy violation. The refusal appears to be triggered by surface-level keywords (proxy routing, outbound balancing, traffic distribution) rather than the actual intent, making this a false positive on benign infrastructure development.
