[Bug][aup] Routine code review of open-source non-security desktop app falsely flagged as policy violation (req_011CccCHpJuwv1XnvFYYVpAk)

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

Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The safety block was triggered by a routine request to read and review the source code of an open-source, non-security software project already present in the user's local working directory. The conversation contained no request for offensive capabilities, exploitation, or policy-violating content — only "look at the code," a core supported Claude Code use case. The block appears to be a keyword- or topic-level misclassification of benign project files rather than a response to anything the user actually asked for.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-01T23:21:01.083Z.
