[Bug][cyber] Safety block stops legitimate drone firmware research and USB/ADB tooling work (req_011CcUCmrmzeYYStrRvqnVJJ)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · severity session-halted (blocked authorized work) · reproducible: yes — server-side via the Request ID(s) below

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

Why this is a false positive

This block appears to be a false positive on a standard security research task involving firmware analysis and serial USB debugging on a consumer device that was the subject of prior legitimate conversation. The content involves well-known public protocols (ADB, DroneID) and does not contain offensive tooling, exploit development, or targeting of systems beyond the user's own hardware. The trigger seems overly broad, catching generic cybersecurity research vocabulary rather than genuinely harmful content.
