What issue are you seeing?

I encountered the message “This content can’t be shown”, followed by “Daybreak isn’t available for Astra. Some cybersecurity requests may still be limited.”

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 01a08719-ddf4-7441-a3c1-f556c15e7468

What is the expected behavior?

I believe the request was incorrectly classified as risky cybersecurity content. Please review the safety classification and model routing for this interaction.

Additional information

This happened in Codex CLI while working on my own local application repository. The task was defensive software engineering: reproducing and fixing PostgreSQL client memory growth and a parser panic using synthetic data over loopback connections. No external systems, real credentials, exploit targets, or third-party data were involved.

Start by reproducing the reported false positive with Codex CLI 0.154.0 on macOS arm64, using the issue's environment and doctor report as context. The issue does not identify the blocked operation, relevant source file, or test; done would mean the benign development work is no longer incorrectly blocked and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check.
