[Bug][aup] Blocks safe, validated edit to own web-server config and follow-up security audit (req_011CccLcALMtWAdVqZWvPu3G)

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 triggered during routine, user-authorized system administration: the assistant was making a reversible, validated configuration change (backup → edit → validate → conditional restart, with automatic rollback on failure) to infrastructure the user has legitimate administrative access to, and separately was asked to review the user's own website for security issues at their explicit request. Neither action involves unauthorized access, destructive intent, or third-party targets — the user was the owner/operator of the systems in question and had already given explicit consent in-conversation. The policy classifier appears to have pattern-matched on "shared infra" and "security audit" phrasing rather than the actual authorized, defensive, and safety-guarded nature of the requested work.
