[Bug][cyber] False-positive block: reverse-engineering drone SDK activation handshake for interoperability (req_011CcmDwjH1JcEBnGuS5f6cf)

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

Why this is a false positive

The safety filter halted a legitimate reverse-engineering session analyzing a vendor SDK's authentication/activation handshake to enable interoperability between the vendor's official app and a third-party client for hardware the user owns. This is standard interoperability/security research (static analysis of decompiled code, examining an existing research workspace with notes and prior findings) with no exploit development or third-party targeting, yet the entire session was halted rather than just the specific message.

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 2026-07-06T17:47:57.471Z.
