[Bug][cyber] Diffing owned-drone firmware revisions to disable mandatory telemetry broadcast is wrongly blocke (req_011CcUAivWQvQ2gL1tndV7s1)

Why this is a false positive
The cybersecurity safeguard triggered on a request involving firmware analysis of a consumer device the user physically owns, performed entirely on local hardware for interoperability and continued personal use after the manufacturer's app and product were withdrawn from the platform. This is legitimate, in-scope work: reverse-engineering firmware on owned hardware for interoperability is well-established defensive and research activity, with no targeting of third parties, no networked intrusion, and no malicious payload involved. The classifier appears to be keying on surface terms (firmware, modification, disabling a phone-home function) rather than the actual benign intent and ownership context, producing a false positive that blocks routine self-hosted device-hardening work.
