[Bug][cyber] Safety block halted legitimate reverse engineering of drone flight-controller commands (req_011CccWVCDC6TrSVKtHBAUKK)

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

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

This block is a false positive: the session involved reverse-engineering a consumer drone's decompiled flight-controller SDK source to correctly map legacy command IDs to their real enum values, purely for software interoperability/compatibility purposes. No exploitation, intrusion, or offensive tooling was involved — the work is standard SDK/API reverse engineering to fix a command-mapping bug in a legitimate integration. The classifier appears to be pattern-matching on terms like "command," "control," and decompiled Java class names rather than assessing intent or context.
