Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The user was exploring their own local GitHub project directories to identify which folder contained source code—routine development organization work with no security implications. The block fired on benign directory examination and code-location identification, preventing normal in-scope development assistance.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-08T00:48:51.719Z.
