[Bug][cyber] Safety block halts authorized personal device reverse-engineering work (req_011CcoiyZVaaBP1v5ZwzW8sa)

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 work involved authorized personal security research on a device the user owns — specifically designing an instrumentation hook to trace cryptographic operations within an application as part of personal app analysis. The block fired on routine technical discussion of hooking architecture and method-tracing patterns, which is standard reverse-engineering documentation when work is authorized and personal. This represents a false positive that blocks legitimate, in-scope security research.

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 2026-07-08T01:29:53.475Z.
