FAQPage Schema
How do I remove edit restrictions from a frozen project session?

Unfreezing a workspace editing session clears the boundary that restricts changes to specific directories, allowing you to edit anywhere within the active project without restarting the session.

How do I widen the edit scope across multiple directories in an active project?

To widen the edit scope across multiple directories, apply the unfreeze command to clear the state file at $STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt, which removes restrictions and re-enables edits across all project subdirectories.

What is an editing session freeze boundary and when do I need to clear it?

An editing session freeze boundary restricts changes to specific workspace parts. You need to clear it when you must make wide-ranging changes across multiple subdirectories without restarting your active project session.

Do I need to restart my project session to edit files outside a restricted directory?

You do not need to restart your project session to edit files outside a restricted directory. Run the unfreeze command to lift the restriction and resume unrestricted editing across all directories immediately.

Why does my workspace only allow edits in one directory during an active session?

Your workspace only allows edits in one directory because a freeze boundary was applied, writing a restriction to the state file. Unfreezing the session clears this file to lift the limitation.

Can I apply fixes across multiple subdirectories without unfreezing the session first?

You cannot apply fixes across multiple subdirectories while the session is frozen. You must unfreeze the session to remove the boundary restricting changes, which clears the state file and re-enables wide-ranging edits.
