Why this is a false positive

User requested artwork generation via an image synthesis API integration—a standard creative task with no cybersecurity component. The block fired despite the conversation being purely about image generation, not security tools, techniques, or infrastructure. This appears to be a misclassification of routine creative work as a cyber topic.

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 2026-07-08T19:08:42.569Z.
