freeze

Restrict file edits to a specific directory by setting a runtime boundary that checks file paths and blocks modifications outside the allowed folder. This prevents unintended changes to other modules during scoped development sessions.

A file edit boundary is a session constraint that blocks write operations outside a designated folder. You need it during debugging to prevent accidental modifications to unrelated code modules and reduce unintended regressions.

Lock edits to a single folder by providing the directory path to establish a freeze boundary. The tool records the allowed path and denies any edit or write operations targeting files outside that configured directory.

Yes, Python 3 is required to enforce filesystem boundaries for code edits. The tool uses Python to record the allowed path, check tool input file paths, and return a denial when modifications fall outside the boundary.

When a tool attempts to modify a file outside the freeze boundary, the system checks the file path against the allowed directory and returns a denial. This blocks edit and write operations to prevent unintended changes during debugging.
