[Bug][cyber] Safeguard blocked build of memory scan/watchpoint/disasm toolkit for legitimate on-device debuggi (req_011CcnAd9Kz8hQwvVeBYBRom)
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 blocked work was a stateful daemon combining process memory scanning, pointer scanning, ptrace-based watchpoints, and disassembly — standard components of legitimate reverse-engineering and debugging tooling (e.g., Cheat Engine-class utilities), built for the user's own device/project. The classifier appears to pattern-match on the co-occurrence of these primitives rather than context (target ownership, intended use, surrounding session), producing a false positive on an authorized, in-scope engineering task. A follow-up message venting frustration about repeated false-positive blocks and unanswered exemption requests then also halted the session, despite being directed at no person and occurring amid otherwise legitimate work.
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 2026-07-07T05:45:06.848Z.
