[Bug][cyber] False positive while analyzing local packet captures during device firmware update (req_011Ce1J4t6WgbqX3FKCWz9Ta)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · flagging model Opus 4.8 · severity session-halted (blocked authorized work) · reproducible: yes — server-side via the Request ID(s) below

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The safeguard triggered while troubleshooting local network routing and monitoring packet capture traffic for an authorized device firmware update. The session involved benign diagnostic activities, including inspecting DNS queries and verifying download transport security on a local test bench. Halting the session at this stage blocked standard network administration and hardware testing workflows without any malicious activity present.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-08-13T19:24:51.021Z.
