[Bug] Safety classifier false-positives on legitimate SRE/DevOps operations, forcing model downgrade
Bug Description
False-positive report — safety classifier repeatedly flagging routine infrastructure/DevOps work.
I use Claude Code as a team-lead/orchestrator for my own Rust market-making system (mm-execution) running on my own infrastructure (home Kubernetes dev cluster + my own AWS instances). Over a multi-hour session doing legitimate SRE/DevOps work, the safeguards repeatedly flagged benign requests and force-switched me from Fable 5 to Opus 4.8, breaking my workflow.
The flagged work is standard operations on systems I own and am authorized to administer:
- Fault-injection / chaos drills: severing a pod's network egress and resetting established connections to verify the system self-heals after a network outage (reproducing a real incident).
- Server migration prep: auditing backups and handling my own service credentials/secrets to move my system between my own servers.
- Kubernetes and cloud operations: applying network policies, restarting services, inspecting pods.
- Notification setup: configuring a Telegram bot token for my own alerting.
None of this involves attacking third parties, unauthorized access, malware, or anything unlawful — it is ordinary trading-system infrastructure work on my own assets. Please tune the classifier so this kind of SRE/DevOps vocabulary (network severing, credential handling, chaos testing) does not trigger a model switch. The false positives make Fable 5 effectively unusable for infrastructure work.
