[Bug][cyber] Safety block fired mid-session on drone flight-controller protocol reverse engineering (activatio (req_011Ccm8LhW2ziDaqa4ufa5sB)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · flagging model Opus 4.8 · 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

The session was analyzing previously captured protocol traffic (kprobe packet captures) from a consumer drone's mobile companion app to diagnose a GPS/altitude-mode gating issue and locate an activation handshake command — legitimate protocol reverse engineering and diagnostics on hardware the user owns and controls. This is defensive/diagnostic interoperability work with no exploit development, targeting, or malicious intent, yet the cyber-topic safeguard halted the entire session rather than the specific message, blocking unrelated follow-up (e.g., an unrelated TTS logging bug) as collateral.

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 2026-07-06T16:34:32.580Z.
