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".
Ask the user which directory to restrict edits to, then activate the boundary so only edits within that path are allowed.

To restrict file edits to a specific directory, you can enforce a per-session edit boundary that blocks Edit and Write operations outside the allowed path. This prevents accidental code changes while debugging.
Yes, locking down edits to a single folder prevents code drift across a project. It filters tool inputs to a configured directory, ensuring changes remain confined to your working module.
A PreToolUse hook blocks unauthorized file modifications by reading the stored boundary path, comparing the target file_path, and denying edits that fall outside the designated directory boundary.
Scoping changes to one module during collaboration is best achieved by activating an edit boundary. This restricts modifications to a designated directory, preventing unintended drift while fixing bugs.
Limitations include that the restriction is per-session and relies on stored state. It filters tool inputs to a configured directory, meaning edits outside this boundary are denied, but the boundary itself must be set correctly beforehand.
