The trigger was a hackathon project called CodeGuard—a real-time IPS layer for LLM-generated code. My training datasets contained inert signatures (fake API keys, SQLi strings, rm -rf) strictly to train the model to detect and block them. The automated system flagged this defensive security research as actual malware. I have had a support ticket open for a month (Ticket 4924492) with zero response. I am completely locked out of my daily dev workflow and portfolio. If anyone from GitHub is lurking here, I urgently need a human review.<br><br> X/Twitter thread with screenshots of the ticket: <a href="https://x.com/shlokparekh10/status/2121281562411253775" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/shlokparekh10/status/2121281562411253775</a></p> github cybersecurity ai
