[Bug] Cyber safeguards trigger on benign prompts such as "hi" across multiple models
Bug Description
Claude Code is triggering the cybersecurity safeguard on completely benign prompts.
For example, in a fresh session, sending only:
hi
immediately returns an API error with:
Details: [cyber]
I reproduced this on multiple models, including Opus 4.8 and Opus 4.6. The behavior is consistent and does not appear to depend on cybersecurity-related prompt content.
Steps to reproduce
- Start Claude Code.
- Open a fresh session.
- Send hi.

Actual behavior
