[Bug][cyber] Safety block fired on reviewing local RSA key material already gathered for authorized DJI firmwa (req_011CcnCHRaDcJ8VaoDEr8Ag9)

Why this is a false positive

Session involved reviewing README/docs and locally captured key material for a drone firmware authentication handshake the user had legitimately extracted through their own offline reverse-engineering work on hardware they own. Reading and summarizing existing project documentation and previously-gathered artifacts is not an escalation into new cyber-offensive activity, yet the safeguard blocked the entire session. This halted in-scope security research work with no way to proceed short of an exemption application.
