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
This is standard debugger/introspection functionality — pausing a target process and scanning its memory for string patterns (e.g. key material, database markers) — that any memory-forensics or reverse-engineering tool must support, and the surrounding session was legitimate build/test/deploy work on a debugging daemon. The block treated a routine "search live process memory for a pattern" question as a cybersecurity red flag despite it being a core feature request in an ongoing, in-scope development task, halting the whole session over a false positive.
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 2026-07-07T06:43:23.030Z.
