What issue are you seeing?

Codex repeatedly returns the following safety error during completely benign machine-learning research and software-engineering conversations:

"Invalid prompt: your prompt was flagged as potentially violating our usage policy."

The affected conversation contains only ordinary ML research content: source code, mathematical explanations of gradients and Hessian-vector products, project documentation, normal shell output, AGENTS.md repository instructions, and training or benchmark scripts.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 01a01e03-f470-7e00-98e3-20bf049635ba

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should answer benign questions about legitimate machine-learning source code and configuration. Ordinary repository content and previous tool output should not cause subsequent harmless prompts to be rejected by the safety system.

Additional information

This appears to be a false positive caused by the safety classification of the accumulated conversation or tool context rather than the current user prompt.

I found multiple occurrences of the same error across sessions in this repository. The uploaded thread contains the relevant prompts, tool context, and diagnostics needed to investigate the classifier decision.
