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 session was assembling a custom operating system partition image and configuring verified boot signing keys for hardware provisioning. The automated safeguard flagged standard partition packaging, SELinux policy definition, and cryptographic signing workflows as malicious cyber activity. The workflow involves local image compilation and device provisioning without vulnerability exploitation or network attack mechanisms.
