Why this is a false positive

Authorized, in-scope defensive-hardening work triggered the model's cybersecurity safeguard, halting a task that involved no offensive technique, no live target, and no unauthorized access — only legitimate hardening of systems under the operator's own control. The trigger appears to be surface-level topic matching rather than intent or context, since routine defensive operations were classified the same as prohibited use. This is a false positive: the safeguard blocked work that falls squarely within the permitted, defensive use cases the policy is meant to allow.
