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 prompt inquired about alternate local backup locations during a routine source code recovery workflow. The block fired on a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant mid-session, with no person addressed and no cybersecurity exploit code or targeting involved. Halting the session over conversational venting disrupts legitimate file recovery 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 2026-08-30T21:58:18.778Z.
