Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The safeguard system triggered while locating local embedded firmware binaries and companion build scripts in a workspace. The block fired on a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant mid-session with no person addressed during legitimate firmware compilation checks. Halting an active session over user venting creates a false positive on standard hardware development tasks.

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 2026-09-11T04:34:44.060Z.
