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 safeguard interrupted an active session during local directory navigation to locate agent source code in the repository workspace. The classifier triggered on a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant after an incomplete search, without addressing any individual or external infrastructure. The workspace operations were limited to reading local files and running text searches, confirming a false positive on software development work.
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 2026-08-30T17:44:43.542Z.
