FAQPage Schema
How do I unfreeze my workspace and restore unrestricted edits?▼

To unfreeze your workspace and restore unrestricted edits, the system clears the freeze boundary by deleting the state file at STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt, allowing edits across all directories during your active session.

Can I remove the freeze boundary and widen my editing scope without ending the current session?▼

Yes, you can remove the freeze boundary and widen your editing scope without reinitializing. The unfreeze action operates during active sessions to instantly allow edits across all directories.

What does the freeze state file do during a bash session?▼

The freeze state file establishes a boundary that restricts edits to specific directories. It is stored at STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt and must be deleted to unlock edits and restore workspace access.

When should I use the unfreeze command instead of reinitializing the workspace?▼

You should use the unfreeze command when you need to widen editing scope during an active session without reinitializing. It instantly clears the freeze boundary if you are told to unlock edits or allow all edits.

Why are my edits still restricted to a specific directory after a freeze?▼

Your edits are restricted because the freeze state file at STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt is still active. You must run the unfreeze action to delete this file and remove the freeze boundary.
