[Bug] Fable 5 safeguards blocking legitimate open-source driver patching (False Positive)

Bug Description
This is not a cybersecurity issue. I’m trying to port an open-source driver, and you keep blocking my requests. I’m going to cancel my subscription if this persists. The blocks are completely random and make no sense whatsoever.

To give you the exact context: I was attempting to port a well-known open-source patch (tinygrad/open-gpu-kernel-modules) to a newer NVIDIA driver version (610.43.03) to enable P2P DMA between my local GPUs. When the agent attempted to run basic shell commands like reading source files and generating a git diff to understand the local /usr/src/nvidia-* codebase changes, it abruptly halted.

It threw a Fable 5 safeguard error claiming it was a cybersecurity topic and demanded access to the "CyberVerification Program" (Request ID: req_011CcsfctbrxrUSMgm5ZQ6AQ).

The model should be able to distinguish between malicious exploitation and standard systems programming tasks like compiling DKMS modules or patching open-source Linux kernel drivers. Hardware enthusiasts regularly patch drivers; this shouldn't require cybersecurity clearance. The current safeguard tuning renders Claude Code completely unusable for low-level systems programming.
