Edit Boundary Preview

Filesystem/Edit Boundary is a preview follow-on to MCP Firewall, Secure GitHub, and Command Boundary.

Boundary can inspect and gate proposed file mutations when edits route through a Boundary edit envelope.

boundary edit inspect --patch proposed.diff
boundary edit apply --patch proposed.diff --dry-run
boundary redteam --pack edit-secret-exfil

This is preview. Direct editor writes, direct filesystem writes, shell redirection, direct git apply, and unwrapped IDE APIs are outside Boundary.

Current Preview Routes

Route Scope
boundary edit inspect Classifies proposed patch bytes without applying them.
boundary edit apply --dry-run Evaluates a proposed edit and records the verdict without writing files.
boundary edit apply Applies only when the preview policy allows or local approval is supplied for approval-required classes.
boundary redteam --pack edit-* Runs fixture edit-risk packs without live mutation.

Claim Boundary

Edit Boundary governs proposed file mutations only when the mutation routes through a Boundary edit envelope. Direct editor writes, direct filesystem writes, direct git apply, shell redirection, IDE saves, CI jobs, and arbitrary processes are bypasses unless explicitly routed through Boundary.
