Bug Description
No matter what I do or say, everything I try to do with Opus (Claude Code cli on Ubuntu Linux), I get the following error message.

API Error: Opus 5's safeguards flagged this message (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). This sometimes happens with safe, normal conversations. Claude Code can't respond to this message with Opus 5.

Double press esc to edit your last message, or try a different model with /model.

Details: [reasoning_extraction]

Request ID: req_011CfAAM3s9t5Djx1PmMdzbE

I have tried compacting. It just started happening today, and happens across every session I have open. It can't be because of one particular session.
