Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Opus 5 safeguard error in Claude Code for the cybersecurity task described, then compare it with a different model using /model. The report does not include the blocked prompt, source file, or test; done would require confirming that legitimate cybersecurity work is no longer incorrectly blocked.
