Why this is a false positive

Legitimate, in-scope security / defensive / administration work was flagged by the cybersecurity-topic safety classifier — pattern-matched on terminology, not on any harmful intent. Securing or administering one's own systems is the opposite of attacking them.

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 2026-08-20T12:03:07.427Z.
