Why this is a false positive
The Fable 5 safeguard fired mid-session on a brief frustrated remark the user directed at the assistant after a series of interruptions; no person was addressed, and the exchange contained no harmful, abusive, or policy-violating content. The surrounding work was a legitimate, in-scope engineering task — reviewing screenshots and image-coordinate mapping code during a routine audit — and nothing about it warrants a content block. Halting an entire coding session over an offhand expression of frustration toward the assistant is a disruptive false positive that blocks safe, normal technical work.
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 2026-07-02T03:16:28.098Z.
