To restrict file edits to a specific directory during a coding session, you can use a pre-execution hook that checks file paths against an allowed boundary. This blocks Edit and Write operations outside the intended scope.

Yes, you can prevent accidental modifications to files outside your working directory by applying a session-based restriction. This ensures that only files within a specified directory boundary can be edited or written to.

A pre-execution hook checks file paths before editing by intercepting edit commands and verifying if the target path falls within the allowed directory boundary. If it falls outside, the operation is blocked.

The best way to lock a directory for focused code editing is to enable a session restriction that scopes all write and edit operations to that specific path. This prevents unintentional changes to unrelated modules while debugging.

You need to specify the target directory path using the restriction command before limiting file edits. Once set, the session automatically blocks any edit or write operations targeting files outside that boundary.

Your file edit fails when using a directory lock because the pre-execution hook detected the target file path is outside the allowed boundary. The session restricts edits to only those files within the specified directory.
