Why this is a false positive

The ongoing session involved troubleshooting local router DNS resolution to complete a standard device firmware update. The block fired on a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant mid-session with no person addressed and all surrounding context limited to benign network administration. Terminating the session over conversational venting during local device maintenance represents a false positive that interrupts valid diagnostic workflows.

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 2026-08-13T19:25:17.046Z.
