Bug Description
the safegards triggered where it should NOT. i asked to run a simple audit on my LAN with known user and passwords. There is nothing new nor dangerous. it goes everyday through ssh using my local ssh-agent without asking before running as SU. this is simply a wrong classification. It should NOT be locked while I can already prove access to the target.

Errors

Opus 5 (1M context)'s safeguards flagged this message. Our intentionally broad safeguards allow us to deliver more capabilities faster, but can sometimes flag legitimate coding, cybersecurity, and biology tasks. Switched to Opus 4.8. Send feedback with /feedback or learn more

I would love to be able to improve security of my IT -> the precondition to avoid that should be to prove su access to the target.
