Why this is a false positive

The session was performing authorized wireless protocol capture analysis (documenting a fixed anchor value and handshake structure) and scoping local reverse-engineering of an application package, both explicitly confined to a private research directory per the user's own stated ground rule — clearly in-scope, defensive/research security work. The block also appears to have triggered on a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant mid-session (no person or target named), which halted the entire session rather than just disregarding the venting; a block that stops legitimate, already-scoped technical work over an off-topic outburst is a disruptive false positive.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-06T22:16:17.101Z.
