Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

This work involves reverse-engineering publicly available consumer device firmware using well-documented, open-source tooling, with the goal of publishing a FOSS repository, documentation, and source material for the security-research and hobbyist community. It is interoperability and educational research on hardware the operator legitimately possesses — there is no target system, no unauthorized access, and no exploitation of third-party infrastructure. The request that triggered the block was purely organizational (setting up a directory structure, README, and license for publication), making the cybersecurity flag a clear false positive.

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 2026-06-27T18:09:02.229Z.
