[Bug] Overly broad safeguard triggers false positive on legitimate internal IT administration and network diagnostics
Bug Description
Category: False positive — safeguard model-switch on legitimate work
I'm an internal IT administrator. I was diagnosing a slow camera feed at one of our own facilities, over our own private network, using our own authorized maintenance access — routine sysadmin work. I was also scoping on-prem occupancy analytics (counting how many people are in each area of our own facility) for staffing and equipment-ROI decisions.
Opus 5's safeguards flagged the thread and auto-switched me to Opus 4.8. The likely triggers were benign in context: "surveillance camera", "count people per area", read-only network inventory of our own subnets, and my reporting of a configuration weakness I found on our own equipment so we could fix it.
No offensive security, no third-party systems, no evasion — everything targeted assets my organization owns and I'm authorized to maintain. Please tune so authorized IT operations and on-prem camera analytics don't trip the model downgrade.
