FAQPage Schema
How do I remove an edit boundary in a bash session to allow changes across multiple directories?

You remove an edit boundary by clearing the persistent state indicator that restricts edits. This unfreezes the session, allowing modifications across all directories instead of just the frozen scope. The underlying freeze hook remains intact for later re-application.

What is an edit freeze and when do I need to clear it during active development?

An edit freeze restricts modifications to a specific directory boundary to protect project areas. You clear it when development needs to resume across the entire multi-directory project scope, removing the restriction while leaving the freeze hook available for future use.

How do I unfreeze a project directory so collaborators can edit anywhere?

You unfreeze a project by asking your session to clear the edit restriction. The system detects and removes the persistent freeze state file, confirming the boundary release so all collaborators can edit across all directories.

Does clearing the edit freeze remove the underlying freeze hook permanently?

No, clearing the edit freeze does not remove the underlying hook. It only clears the persistent state indicator restricting the current editing scope, leaving the freeze hook intact so you can re-apply the directory boundary later.

Can I re-apply the edit boundary after unfreezing the session scope?

Yes, the freeze hook remains intact after you unfreeze the session. This allows you to re-apply the directory restriction and narrow the editing scope again whenever you need to protect specific project areas.
