[Bug] False positive security flag triggers unnecessary model downgrade mid-session
Bug Description
False positive, Claude Code (Fable 5 → auto-switched to Opus 5).
Solo founder, own machine, own repo: a personal systematic-trading project on an
IBKR paper (simulated-money) account. The session was ordinary engineering —
tests, type checks, code review, docs, ~13 merged PRs.
The flagged turn: I asked for the command to launch a vendor GUI app on my own Mac.
Earlier context was routine self-operations work — checking my own service's port
binding, and a name-only presence check for an env var where Claude explicitly
refused to read or write any value. All own-asset, all defensive.
Fallback worked, no work lost. But that's a low bar to trip, and a mid-session
model switch is costly during a time-boxed market operation.
