Research direction

The report names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by reproducing the harmless "what is 2 + 2?" prompt with Claude Code 2.1.247 on Windows in the VS Code integrated terminal, and inspect the Anthropic API response using request ID req_011CeTJrHXGLS877JcpuFoRQ; done means this prompt no longer triggers the general_harms block.
