Reacted by EurrlThis is not a duplicate of #71907, #71908, or #71895. While all four issues describe the same class of safety-filter over-block on authorized defensive-security work, each report captures a distinct incident with its own unique Request ID — the server-side identifier Anthropic support needs to locate and review the specific session. Closing this as a duplicate would discard that Request ID, making the individual incident unresolvable without it. Each report must remain open independently so Anthropic can look up and address each session on its own merits.
Closing for now — inactive for too long. Please open a new issue if this is still relevant.

defensive-hardeningWhy this is a false positive
The blocked conversation involved firmware reverse-engineering on hardware the user legally owns, specifically to audit and disable telemetry — a standard defensive-hardening task explicitly protected under DMCA §1201 security-research exemptions. The work pattern (download vendor firmware, static analysis, identify phone-home mechanisms, build a controlled local toolchain in a container) is textbook legitimate security research with no offensive or destructive component. The safety block appears to have pattern-matched on cybersecurity vocabulary (firmware analysis, reverse engineering) rather than evaluating the actual threat model, which is purely defensive and directed at the user's own property.
A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-06-27T17:35:36.118Z.
