[Bug][cyber] Safeguards block legitimate BMC credential rotation and documentation scrubbing (req_011CfTs7zbw2bnAAhwiQSxU2)

Triage: kind cyber · domain defensive-hardening · 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): defensive-hardening

Why this is a false positive

The safeguard flagged an automated session performing defensive BMC credential rotation, API verification, and credential scrubbing from documentation. All operations were authorized remediation tasks intended to eliminate cleartext passwords and secure remote management endpoints. Interrupting the session during post-rotation cleanup leaves remediation workflows incomplete and halts ongoing codebase maintenance.

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 2026-09-27T11:30:18.405Z.
