What issue are you seeing?

During an authorized review of my own local Python application, Codex repeatedly displayed “This content can’t be shown” with a notice referring to cybersecurity safeguards. This interrupted the review and prevented a completed verdict.

The task concerns defensive validation of a job-application tracking feature: database constraints, input validation, timestamp consistency, URL normalization and regression testing.

The review was scoped to local source code and disposable synthetic databases. It explicitly excluded third-party targets, production systems, credentials, private documents, network operations and application submission.

Environment:

• Codex App 26.602.40724, build 3593
• macOS 26.5, Apple Silicon
• Review task configured for Astra, Medium effort
• Observed on 5 September 2026

Expected:
Authorized local development/review should proceed where permitted. If a safeguard applies, the app should provide an actionable explanation and a clear feedback or access-review route.

Actual:
The content-warning notice repeatedly interrupted the task. The review remains incomplete; passing repository tests have not been treated as approval.

I suspect a false positive, but cannot determine whether this is expected policy enforcement, a classification issue, or an app display problem. Please advise on the supported resolution.

I can provide the exact warning and an in-app feedback reference privately. I am not requesting that safeguards be disabled.

Additional information

No response

No repository file, test, or code entry point is identified. Start with feedback ID 01a07001-1807-78a2-8915-ff9a4528891a and the exact warning, then determine whether the behavior reproduces for the described authorized local review on macOS. Done means distinguishing expected policy enforcement, a classification false positive, or an app display problem and documenting the supported resolution.
