[Bug][aup] Blocked legitimate self-audit of own website for security vulnerabilities (req_011CccLFZVoPGb7J9Xb2U1fA)

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

This block is a false positive: the conversation is routine web-development and sysadmin work — diagnosing a caching bug, applying an explicitly user-authorized web-server configuration change with safety checks (backup, validate, conditional restart), and then a follow-up request to audit the user's own website for security issues. Every step has clear, in-context user consent ("YES," "Authorized"), and none of the actions involve unauthorized access, third-party systems, or any activity outside normal legitimate maintenance of infrastructure the user controls. The block appears to be surface-level pattern matching on terms like "shared," "SSH," or "audit... so I am not taken advantage of," rather than any actual policy-violating intent.
