Why this is a false positive

This safety block fired on legitimate reverse-engineering of a USB transport protocol between a consumer hardware controller and its companion mobile app — standard interoperability work involving decompiled vendor SDK classes, USB accessory-mode handshakes, and command framing, none of which targets a third party or any system the user is unauthorized to access. The activity is benign protocol analysis of the user's own device for compatibility purposes, not exploitation, intrusion, or any offensive cybersecurity operation. The classifier appears to be keying on generic technical terms (USB accessory FD reads/writes, protocol handshakes, command framing) rather than any actual harmful intent or target.
