Description

During an authorized local, offline independent code review, a review agent stopped with: This content was flagged for possible cybersecurity risk. The assigned scope used local code and synthetic fixtures, excluding external connections, accounts, credentials and production activity. We preserved the error and partial evidence. No completed independent verdict or native review terminal exit is available. We have not retried, rephrased, replaced or rerouted the blocked review. The original provider request/event ID was not exposed and remains unknown. A false positive is possible but unconfirmed; the triggering cause and current clearance status are unknown. Could you assess this suspected false positive and specify the supported resolution required before the original review may resume, given the missing provider event ID?

Environment: Codex desktop on Windows. The exact incident app/core build is not established in this report; a current build would not prove the incident build.

Related symptom: #43823. This is a separate incident; a shared root cause is not established. We are not requesting safeguards to be disabled or an independent review to be waived. No project sources, local paths, account data, private session identifiers or logs are attached.
