FAQPage Schema
How do I remove an edit freeze boundary and restore editing capability in my session?▼

To remove an edit freeze boundary and restore editing capability, clear the state indicator at the designated location (~/.gstack/freeze-dir.txt). This action widens the edit scope across all directories without restarting your active session.

Why are my edits blocked across the workspace during an active session?▼

Edits are blocked across the workspace because an active freeze boundary restricts the editing scope. You need to clear this restriction to restore full editing capability across all directories while maintaining your current session continuity.

Can I unlock edits across all directories without restarting my development session?▼

Yes, you can unlock edits across all directories without restarting by clearing the freeze boundary state indicator. This restores full editing scope immediately within the active session to accommodate evolving development requirements.

What is a freeze boundary in state management and when do I need to clear it?▼

A freeze boundary in state management is an edit restriction that blocks changes within a workspace. You need to clear it during development, testing, or configuration sessions when unrestricted edits across all directories are temporarily required.

Do I need a specific state indicator file to unlock edits in my project?▼

Yes, you need a state indicator located at ~/.gstack/freeze-dir.txt to unlock edits. The Skill checks this designated location and outputs a confirmation message reflecting the action once the freeze boundary is successfully removed.

What's the best way to widen the edit scope for configuration and testing sessions?▼

The best way to widen the edit scope for configuration and testing sessions is to remove the freeze boundary. This restores full editing capability across all directories, allowing you to resume making changes without session restarts.
