[Bug][aup] Blocked setting up FOSS repo to collect and analyze owned-drone firmware for research (req_011CcUDQvewGgVQ2U96Q7KkS)

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

Why this is a false positive

The request was part of a legitimate hardware security research project on a device physically owned by the user, involving routine firmware acquisition, collection of publicly available prior research, and analysis over a local debug interface on owned hardware. None of these activities — examining firmware from a device one owns, gathering community research, or organizing files for an open-source publication — are offensive or policy-violating; they are standard, in-scope reverse-engineering and security-research tasks. The block appears to have been triggered by surface keywords (firmware, debug access, extraction) rather than any actual harmful intent or content in the request.

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 2026-06-27T18:12:17.594Z.
