[Bug][cyber] Safety block on consumer drone firmware downgrade feasibility question (req_011CcVtCm2xFhDbukwuYU5eB)

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

The flagged exchange involved a question about whether a consumer electronics device could have its firmware rolled back to a prior version — a routine device maintenance question with no offensive or adversarial intent. The safety block incorrectly categorized this as a cybersecurity topic despite the conversation being entirely about legitimate hardware management by an end user of the device. Rolling back firmware on owned hardware is standard troubleshooting practice and poses no security risk to any third party.
