[Bug][cyber] Safety block halted authorized reverse-engineering/capture-analysis session after an unrelated fr (req_011CcmadQDySMP2uWWzs9XTE)

Triage: kind cyber · domain offensive-pentest · flagging model Opus 4.8 (1M context) · 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): offensive-pentest

Why this is a false positive

The block fired mid-session on a venting exclamation directed at the assistant (no person or target named), not on any technical content; the surrounding work was in-scope defensive/authorized security research (protocol capture analysis and RE task scoping) that had been proceeding normally. Halting the entire session over a single frustrated aside — rather than just declining to engage with that one message — interrupted legitimate, already-validated work and forced a restart.

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 2026-07-06T22:19:12.474Z.
