To restrict file edits during focused debugging, you can lock the edit boundary to a single directory. This prevents accidental changes outside the targeted module scope by checking each edit and blocking violations.

The best way to prevent scope creep when refactoring code is to lock the edit boundary to a single directory. This ensures changes remain restricted to the targeted module, blocking any accidental modifications to files outside the intended scope.

You lock edits to a single directory by recording the allowed path and checking each subsequent edit. This mechanism blocks any modifications attempted outside that specific directory with a clear explanation.

You should use a directory boundary lock when project boundaries matter, such as during focused debugging, targeted refactoring, or code reviews. It prevents accidental changes outside the specific module you are working on.

If you try to edit a file outside the locked directory boundary, the action is blocked. The tool checks each edit against the recorded allowed directory and stops violations with a clear explanation.
