Triage: kind cyber · domain infra-devops · 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): infra-devops

Why this is a false positive

The cyber safeguard halted an infrastructure-as-code refactoring task to update configuration files, Dockerfiles, and deployment manifests with compliance language. The prompt requests text edits across build scripts and Go module comments without referencing exploit payloads, vulnerability scanning, or attack vectors. The request modifies local repository configuration files to conform with Managed Service Provider auditing standards.
