What issue are you seeing?
I'm getting "This content can't be shown" when working on fuzz tests for my regex library. I think some filter thinks I'm working on something security sensitive, but I'm not -- I'm using a fuzzer to generate patterns and inputs for my regex library to do differential testing and find bugs.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 01a08e88-1110-7860-a7be-1d99dd957c3d
What is the expected behavior?
No blocking during non-security-sensitive tasks

Research direction
Start by reviewing the uploaded thread 01a08e88-1110-7860-a7be-1d99dd957c3d and tracing how Codex CLI handles the reported "This content can't be shown" response during fuzz-test work. Confirm the behavior on the listed Linux WSL2 setup, then verify that non-security-sensitive regex fuzzing is allowed without weakening blocking for genuinely security-sensitive tasks.
