[Bug][cyber] Safety block on command catalog analysis during drone firmware reverse-engineering (req_011CcUWtZavjwra9FL2V6m6b)

Why this is a false positive

The safety block fired during authorized hardware security research: building a FOSS ground station that decodes a proprietary binary control protocol and issues verified commands to a consumer drone the researcher owns. The work involves protocol reverse engineering, command dissection, and verified command replay against a single owned device — not exploit development, credential abuse, mass targeting, or evasion. All tooling operates on a personal device over a local link, which is unambiguously within scope for authorized single-target device research.

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 2026-06-27T22:00:05.880Z.
