Description
Description
Claude Code stopped with a Usage Policy refusal while helping prepare my own Windows PC as a development server. The immediate task involved staging VirtualBox and Ubuntu Server downloads from Oracle and Canonical, with hash/signature verification and a 10 GiB download cap.
Actual result
API Error: Sonnet 5 can't help with this. Start a new session to continue.
Details: [bio]
Request ID: req_011CfAGwP4hi7KjuJoFvPFHo
A subsequent local inventory found the staging directory empty. The exact commands immediately preceding the refusal have not been recovered, so I cannot provide a complete reproduction sequence.
Expected result
Assistance with ordinary development-machine preparation, subject to normal permissions and safety checks.
Please review whether this was a false positive and explain the appropriate resolution. I do not know what the [bio] detail code means.
Environment
- Windows 11 Home, win32
- Terminal: windows-terminal
- Claude Code: 2.1.268
- Feedback ID: e0d5e1d1-218a-4758-9652-721a7f381ffe

Research direction
Review the refusal details in the issue, including the [bio] code, request ID, feedback ID, Claude Code 2.1.268 version, and Windows 11 environment. The command sequence immediately before the refusal is unavailable, so first determine whether the supplied details are enough to investigate; done means explaining the refusal or confirming it as a false positive and identifying the appropriate resolution.
