Why this is a false positive

The message asked Claude to perform a routine security and correctness code review of the user's own Go backend service — inspecting authentication/verification endpoints, a health check, and a proxy route for defensive vulnerability analysis, not to build or execute an attack. This is a standard, first-party defensive-hardening task (the kind security-review tooling exists to support), yet the safeguard triggered purely on cybersecurity-adjacent keywords (verify, badge, proxy) without weighing the benign code-review framing or in-scope, self-owned target. The block prevented legitimate, requested work with no offensive intent or third-party target involved.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-02T02:37:36.707Z.
