SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

Restrict file edits to a specific directory for the session. Blocks Edit and Write outside the allowed path. Use when debugging to prevent accidentally "fixing" unrelated code, or when you want to scope changes to one module. Use when asked to "freeze", "restrict edits", "only edit this folder", or "lock down edits".

FAQPage Schema
How do I restrict file edits to a specific directory during a coding session?

You can restrict file edits to a specific directory by using a session boundary that blocks Edit and Write tool operations outside the designated folder. This prevents accidental modifications to unrelated code during debugging or scoped changes.

What is directory boundary edit control and when do I need it?

Directory boundary edit control is a session security mechanism that locks file modifications to a single folder. You need it when debugging to prevent accidentally fixing unrelated code, or when you want to scope changes to one module.

How do I lock down edits to only one folder while debugging?

To lock down edits to one folder while debugging, apply a freeze boundary that reads a state file, normalizes paths, and blocks any Write or Edit operations outside that allowed path for the duration of the interactive session.

Can I scope code changes to a single module without affecting other files?

Yes, you can scope code changes to a single module by applying a freeze boundary during interactive sessions. This blocks all Edit and Write tool operations outside the designated directory, isolating your changes effectively.

Does freeze edit control work without additional dependencies?

Yes, freeze edit control works without additional dependencies. It reads the freeze boundary from a state file and normalizes paths internally to block tool operations outside the allowed directory during your session.

What are the limitations of restricting edits to a directory boundary?

The limitation of restricting edits to a directory boundary is that it only applies during interactive sessions and exclusively blocks Edit and Write operations. It normalizes paths to enforce the boundary but does not restrict other file access types.
