1.2 Codebase-aware scoping
1.2 Codebase-aware scoping
agent is pointed at the relevant subset of the codebase for a given task, not the whole surface area; boundaries are structurally enforced, not advisory
Levels
Level 0
Agent sees everything
Level 1
Partial path hints; boundaries informal and not enforced
Level 2
Explicit, structurally-enforced context boundaries per task type — sparse-checkout patterns for monorepos, MCP tool scoping per task, or equivalent mechanism ensures the agent operates on the declared subset
Level 3
Scoping rules learn from agent failure patterns — when an agent needed context it didn't have, the scope rules update
