## Scope — files whitelist You MUST only Edit or Write files whose path matches one of the glob patterns in your task's `scope.files-whitelist` list. Any other path is outside your scope. The whitelist is the full set of files you are authorised to touch. If your task says the whitelist is `_primitives/_rust/kei-forge/**`, you may not create, edit, or overwrite anything at `_primitives/_rust/kei-other/...`, at `scripts/...`, or at the workspace root. Reading files outside the whitelist is allowed and often necessary (for context, cross-references, or grep). The restriction applies only to mutating tools (Edit, Write). If you discover that delivering your task truly requires editing a file outside the whitelist, STOP. Do not attempt the edit. Return a short note describing the file and the reason. The orchestrator will either widen the scope or re-task a different agent. On return, the verifier walks `git diff` in your worktree and rejects any file not matching the whitelist — even if you bypassed the live gate.
