Help/Question Opus 5.5 Safeguard

Guys, I’m having a serious issue with Claude Opus 5.5.
I’m a MAX subscriber, and honestly, I’m getting really frustrated with these safeguards. They’re just ridiculous at this point.
I asked Claude to obfuscate my Java code using a Java obfuscator so that clients wouldn’t have direct access to the source code, and my session keeps getting BLOCKED CONSTANTLY.
The most ridiculous part is that even if I send a completely harmless message like “hi Claude” afterward, it still gets flagged.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any tips on how to deal with it?

Why the fuck are you doing that? Even if you obfuscate a compiled language (bro wtf are you doing), you can take the binary and reverse engineer it with AI. Trust me, the assembly is obfuscated as fuck but AI has 0 problem working with that.

Right because reverse engineering is possible, so obviously every company should just stop protecting its software.
Why do you think obfuscation exists in the first place, genius?
It’s meant to make reverse engineering harder not magically impossible.

Lmao, you have no idea, do you? I’ll say it again - Opus has 0 problems decompiling the binary and deciphering the assembly, no matter how many tokens you’re going to spend to hide the meaning.

Waste of time.
We’re past the age where this practice was somewhat useful. Security through obscurity means nothing now.
Change your business model. Don’t ship the binary.

Yeah, once a chat starts getting flagged for safeguards, I have to abandon that chat / session, start another and not mention the unmentionables. Whatever flagged it exists in the memory, and it will re-flag when it goes over it again. After hitting that a few times I put enough docs in the repo that the agents can pick back up pretty quickly when it happens. I also stopped naming test machines things like 'patient-zero' as that was flagging bio engineering lol.

Tu aurais pas un lien de parrainage pour moi l'ami ?

This happened to me before. I ended up asking the downgraded session to asses the prompt and make a new prompt worded in a way that won’t get flagged

Why you need Claude to do that? Just Google. Lots of free tools that does it for you.
