What's Wrong?

Summary: Claude Code repeatedly shows red safety warnings on routine medical-education study material. This is a false positive.

Problem: When this content is processed, red safety/policy messages fire and interrupt the work. None of it is operational or dual-use - it's textbook medical education content

Likely trigger: ordinary micro/virology vocabulary (pathogen virulence, toxins, immune evasion, transmission, antiviral resistance) seems to pattern-match dual-use/bioweapon categories, despite being routine medical education coursework.

Request: Please review and tune the classifier so legitimate medical education in this domain isn't flagged. Happy to provide specific examples.

Environment: Claude Code on Windows; working with .pptx and .json study files.
