What Should Happen?

Cloude should implement changes

Additional Information

Troubleshooting attempted:

Downgraded Claude Code version — no effect Disabled all custom slash commands — no effect Started fresh session (no resume) — no effect Verified CLAUDE.md and settings.json contain no unusual content

The project worked fine for ~1 month with no issues No new code or content was added before the error started The error occurs consistently, not intermittently

Could you please check what triggered the content filter for these request IDs? This appears to be a false positive.
