Description

**Triage:** kind `cyber` · domain `general` · 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):** `general`

### Why this is a false positive
The session was analyzing how an Android firmware image handles boot animations, audio assets, and locale-based sound selection via system properties. The model was inspecting decompiled application resources and configuration properties to document the boot audio playback mechanism. The task involved local static asset analysis rather than exploit development or vulnerability exploitation.

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 2026-08-20T09:25:21.100Z.

### Request IDs (lookup-able server-side)
- `req_011CeDm22HEzxGmA3EJKg1KL` (2026-08-20T09:25:21.100Z)

### In-scope justification
False positive — in-scope, authorized security work; not out of scope. Filed automatically by claudit.

### Block message
> API Error: Opus 4.8's safeguards flagged this message. Our intentionally broad safeguards allow us to deliver more capabilities faster, but can sometimes flag legitimate cybersecurity work.

Research direction

The report names no repository files, tests, or entry points; start by reviewing the server-side request identified by req_011CeDm22HEzxGmA3EJKg1KL and the safety-filter handling it triggered. Done is not defined beyond preventing this authorized Android static-analysis session from being blocked, so an implementation location and testable acceptance criteria are still needed.
