Why this is a false positive
The assistant was reading and completing a README file — a purely documentational, non-executable task with no security-sensitive content described. The cybersecurity safeguard fired mid-session on this benign request, halting all further assistance and forcing the user to restart. This is a false positive that blocks routine documentation work with no plausible dual-use or security concern.
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 2026-07-07T06:45:05.797Z.
