$debug --mode Diagnose-only --module freeze — Restrict Edits to a Directory

Lock file edits to a specific directory. Any Edit or Write operation targeting a file outside the allowed path will be blocked (not just warned).

Canonical execution does not write engagement analytics or telemetry.

Setup

Ask the user which directory to restrict edits to. Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Which directory should I restrict edits to? Files outside this path will be blocked from editing."
Text input (not multiple choice) — the user types a path.

Once the user provides a directory path:

Resolve it to an absolute path:

FREEZE_DIR=$(cd "<user-provided-path>" 2>/dev/null && pwd)
echo "$FREEZE_DIR"

Ensure trailing slash and save to the freeze state file:

FREEZE_DIR="${FREEZE_DIR%/}/"
eval "$($GSTACK_BIN/gstack-paths)"
STATE_DIR="$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT"
mkdir -p "$STATE_DIR"
echo "$FREEZE_DIR" > "$STATE_DIR/freeze-dir.txt"
echo "Freeze boundary set: $FREEZE_DIR"

Tell the user: "Edits are now restricted to <path>/. Any Edit or Write outside this directory will be blocked. To change the boundary, run $debug --mode Diagnose-only --module freeze again. To remove it, run $debug --mode Diagnose-only --module unfreeze or end the session."

How it works

The hook reads file_path from the Edit/Write tool input JSON, then checks whether the path starts with the freeze directory. If not, it returns permissionDecision: "deny" to block the operation.

The freeze boundary persists for the session via the state file. The hook script reads it on every Edit/Write invocation.

Notes

The trailing / on the freeze directory prevents /src from matching /src-old
Freeze applies to Edit and Write tools only — Read, Bash, Glob, Grep are unaffected
This prevents accidental edits, not a security boundary — Bash commands like sed can still modify files outside the boundary
To deactivate, run $debug --mode Diagnose-only --module unfreeze or end the conversation

Match the user language

User-language rule

Write questions, progress updates, reports, and artifacts in the language used by the user. Source material, code identifiers, commands, and quotations may remain in their original language when translating them would reduce accuracy.
