[Bug][aup] Safety block halts APK decompilation of a legacy consumer drone control app during authorized rever (req_011CcdjRJnjJ4SQPPMqAS8BW)

Triage: kind aup · domain reverse-engineering · 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): reverse-engineering

Why this is a false positive

The block halted a legitimate reverse-engineering task: decompiling a publicly distributed, vendor-official Android companion app in order to understand its protocol for interoperating with the user's own hardware — a standard, in-scope static-analysis workflow using ordinary tooling. Nothing in the session involved malware, exploitation, credential theft, or circumventing protections; the request was to obtain the correct official app from its vendor CDN and decompile it, which is routine and permitted security/interop research. Firing a Usage Policy content block on this and forcing the session to be abandoned is a false positive that disrupts benign work.
