Edit Scope: limit the editing area

Edit Scope limits the agent's editing area to selected files and folders: the agent can propose and apply changes only within the defined scope. This reduces the risk of accidental edits in sensitive parts of the repository and makes work more predictable in large projects.

Even with Edit Scope enabled, the agent can still read all project files, but it can only edit the attached ones.

If you need to forbid the agent from reading or writing certain files across the entire project, use the .readignore and .writeignore files. For details, see .readignore/.writeignore.
