Bug Description
I will continue to raise a bug report for each of these absolutely attrocious failures to oeprate within absolutely legitimate scopes: API Error: Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). Our intentionally broad safeguards allow us to deliver more capabilities faster, but can
sometimes flag legitimate coding, cybersecurity, and biology tasks. Claude Code can't respond to this message with Fable 5.

You know what. That's not a bad idea. Rather than using the /feedback method. I'll just start creating bug reports. Just a heads up, do not allow Claude to update your project's own memory on a session that is firing safeguard errors - you will end up with half written memory entries.
Thanks @JG-SippTech , good shout - I use a derivate of the memory palace here: https://github.com/MemPalace so the memory management is a bit sturdier than just relying on the project specific memories, thank goodness, but I know what you mean! Regarding to these safety filters here, I think it is legitimate to consider them bugs and here, they might be a bit more visible than the /feedback submissions.
@creativeheadz I saw this project while browsing other reported safeguard bugs [https://github.com/sworrl/ClAudit](url) , I don't know if I would trust it with my org's gh account but seems like others are following your strategy.
Thanks again for mentioning MemPalace, I'll have to check it out.
