[Bug] Fable 5 safeguards falsely block benign requests based on session context
Bug Description
Subject: Fable 5 safeguards block every message in my sessions, including "bonjour" and basic web dev
Fable 5's safeguards pause my session on essentially every input, regardless of content. Examples that were blocked with the "Session paused" screen:
- A plain arithmetic request: "Can you help me calculate 2+3/1.248233?"
- Simply typing "bonjour" (hello)
- Asking to build a website
None of these are unsafe. The block appears to be triggered not by the individual message but by the overall session context. I'm an immunologist, and my global memory / CLAUDE.md (loaded automatically at session start) contains legitimate biology and TCR/immunology work. My hypothesis is that the classifier flags the whole session based on that biology context, so every subsequent message is paused by default, even a greeting or a coding task.
The practical effect is that Fable 5 is unusable for me for any task, including routine software development, purely because I'm a scientist whose stored context mentions biology. Opus 4.8 receives the same injected context and never triggers this, so the issue is specific to Fable's safeguard layer.
Request: please reduce these false positives, and in particular stop letting benign session context (stored biology notes) block unrelated, clearly safe requests like greetings, arithmetic, and web development. There is no prompt-side workaround for the user, since the trigger is the session context rather than the message.
