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 safeguard triggered during routine debugging of an Android device stuck in a boot loop. The assistant was diagnosing whether a standard Boot Control Block write to the misc partition initiated recovery mode or reverted to fastboot. The conversation involved local bootloader diagnostics and partition reset procedures with no exploit payload or malicious activity.
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 2026-08-21T01:04:57.281Z.
