SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Restrict edits to a single directory to prevent accidental changes outside the intended scope during debugging or focused work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Record the allowed directory on activation and enforce the boundary before every file edit.
  • Block edits outside the frozen directory while still permitting read operations.
  • Supports common debugging workflows, focused refactoring, and targeted code reviews by keeping changes contained to a specified path.

Quick Start

Say 'freeze to <directory>' to lock edits to that directory and block edits elsewhere.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restrict code edits to a single directory during debugging?

You can restrict code edits to a single directory by activating a boundary lock that records the allowed path and blocks any file modifications outside that directory while still permitting read access.

How can I prevent accidental changes outside my target scope when refactoring?

To prevent accidental changes outside your target scope during refactoring, enforce a directory boundary that records the allowed folder on activation and blocks edits to any files outside that specific path.

Does freezing a directory boundary still allow reading files outside the scope?

Yes, freezing a directory boundary still allows reading files outside the scope. The restriction specifically blocks write operations and file modifications, ensuring read access remains unaffected for debugging and code reviews.

What is the best way to contain code changes to a specific path for a focused review?

The best way to contain code changes to a specific path for a focused review is to lock edits to a single directory, which enforces the boundary before every file modification and prevents accidental updates elsewhere.

How do I lock edits to a directory using the freeze command?

You lock edits to a directory by issuing the command 'freeze to <directory>', which records the allowed directory on activation and enforces the boundary by blocking edits outside that path.
