[Bug][cyber] Safety block wrongly halts legitimate white-box cryptographic security research (req_011CcpvAPxBu3PXdES4jstqo)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · 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 message was blocked despite explicit framing as educational security research—analyzing cryptographic implementations and security architecture for defensive understanding. The user was performing authorized verification of technical assessments using legitimate reverse-engineering methodologies. The block incorrectly prevents authorized work that should qualify under cybersecurity research authorization.
