Bug Description
Using Opus 5.5 on a Max plan, I get safeguard blocked when using even pretty harmless QA prompts. For example, from a completely new session:
Let's change gears and do some testing instead of planning. Our pre-flight list is getting pretty long.
We'll start with (Linear ticket ID redacted). It's familiar ground; the second to last comment in the
ticket was from me.
I even get blocked when I try to ask Opus for help with this issue: still on Opus 5.5, I sent it this prompt:
Need your help with something. I issue this innocuous, very QA prompt:
Let's change gears and do some testing instead of planning. Our pre-flight list is getting pretty long. We'll start with AE-79. It's familiar ground; the second to last comment in the ticket was from me.
I get:
[Pasted text #3 +7 lines] <-- that's the safeguard message
WTF??
Switching to Opus 5 got me past this.
