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 broad cyber safeguard halted an ongoing server administration session after the user sent a frustrated directive regarding interface selection. The underlying interaction consisted of local hardware management and backup storage configuration using existing administrative access. Blocking the session for conversational frustration during routine infrastructure maintenance creates a false positive on authorized work.

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 2026-08-30T00:46:00.105Z.

### Request IDs (lookup-able server-side)
- `req_011CeY1VWULjCaRzKQZG4urg` (2026-08-30T00:46:00.105Z)

### 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.
