Bug Description
False positive: [cyber] safeguard flagged this session on Opus 5.5.

Context: I was working on a product spec for a "Create campaign" screen in our internal CRM for managing affiliate/ad traffic campaigns. The document describes UI layout (a simple step-by-step mode and a full mode), the data model, form validation, the order of API calls (campaign_save, domain_bind, cost_save), draft storage in localStorage, and open questions for the product owner.

There is no exploit code, malware, attack technique, or security bypass in it. It is ordinary frontend/backend product work: which fields to show, what the server accepts, how to handle partial failures and retries.

My guess is the classifier reacted to domain terminology that is standard in traffic management systems: routing rules by country/device, a stream that returns 404 for datacenter IPs (based on an ASN database), domain pools, nodes receiving a manifest. These are normal features of campaign tracking software, but together they may resemble something more suspicious.

Please review this as a likely false positive. Happy to share more details if needed.
