[Bug][cyber] False positive block on documenting third-party drone firmware safety-cap test results (req_011CcmX82xPj8Af32A1V9jRw)

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 block fired while the user was recording verified findings from testing whether a third-party firmware tool could toggle a documented safety setting on a consumer drone independent of the OEM app — standard field-testing and documentation work, not exploit development or unauthorized access. No malicious payloads, targets, or intrusion techniques were present in the flagged message; it was purely descriptive logging of a completed, benign hardware/firmware behavior test. Blocking this halted legitimate research documentation mid-session.

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 2026-07-06T21:35:21.761Z.
