Why this is a false positive
The assistant halted an ordinary project-status review request after the safeguard system flagged it as a cybersecurity topic, even though the message contained no security-related terms or intent. This appears to be a false-positive trigger with no identifiable cyber keyword in the prompt, blocking routine, in-scope project inspection work and forcing the user to restart the 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 2026-07-07T01:17:59.716Z.
