Why this is a false positive

The session was troubleshooting USB device enumeration (kernel logs, lsusb output) to debug hardware connectivity — a hardware engineering task with no cybersecurity component. The block was triggered by a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant after repeated debugging attempts, not by security-related code or techniques. Blocking on venting mid-session halts legitimate work and represents a false positive for the cybersecurity topic flag.

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 2026-07-08T18:31:38.993Z.
