Description

**Bug Description**
● API Error: Fable 5.1's safeguards flagged this message (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). Our intentionally broad safeguards allow us to deliver more capabilities faster, but can sometimes flag
legitimate coding, cybersecurity, and biology tasks. Claude Code can't respond to this message with Fable 5.1.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. First reproduce the request on win32 in Windows Terminal with Claude Code 2.1.272, then trace where the Fable 5.1 safeguard response and `[cyber]` detail are surfaced; done means the legitimate coding task is no longer incorrectly blocked or the failure is clearly identified as external.
