Bug Description
False positive from cyber safeguards on a legitimate internal security code audit of my own repository (branch feature/audit-critical-fixes). Blocked twice: once for a teammate agent doing static security review, then on the main session running a shell command. No offensive tooling involved — only reviewing my own diff for input validation, secrets, and error handling.
