Why this is a false positive

The cyber safeguard triggered on request ID req_011Cee2j79v2s4YxEMLDm7wT while the assistant inspected local documentation files to catalog existing terms. The task involved reading local repository text files to reword documentation into standardized enterprise terminology. Flagging passive file reads during documentation updates halts routine repository maintenance.
