Bug Description
I was just trying to code a library for AAA games- the next big thing in rust. Nothing wrong with it. I had previously been working on a cybersecurity tool. I told Claude to focus on Neon (the game lib) and every time it would read a file or run a command "API Error: Opus 5 (1M context)'s safeguards flagged this message (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). Our intentionally broad safeguards allow us to deliver more capabilities faster, but can sometimes flag legitimate coding, cybersecurity, and biology tasks." same thing happened with Claude Fable 5.1 too.
