claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Actions on Gromacs files triggers false "Usage Policy Violation" error in Opus

What's Wrong?

When working with Gromacs files, such as checkpoint *.cpt files or umbrella sampling pullx.xvg files, Opus very often triggers false error on user policy violation. pullx.xvg files are particularly nasty - they trigger this error on almost any operation involving them. The files themselves are absolutely innocent - just columns of numbers, not even remotely resembling anything suspicios in cybersecurity domain or such.

When error appears the only way to continue the session is to switch to Sonnet, which works with these files with no problems.

What Should Happen?

Gromacs files such as *.cpt and pullx.xvg should not trigger cybersecurity violation error - they are innocent.
