When the refusal includes information about the Cyber Verification Program, Claude Code now adds to the message:\n\n- If your access is active, it names your access tier, says you were still flagged, and points to a feedback form.\n\n- If it is not active, it tells you to ask your admin for Defense Access in the Cyber Verification Program, or says your organization does not have program access in effect for this model.\n\n**Why**\n\nPeople who hit these refusals get a concrete next step instead of a generic message. The extra text only appears when the refusal from Anthropic's servers carries this information.\n\n- Area: Safeguards\n- Names: `\/feedback`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
