The File Modification Boundary We Found After 12 ForgeFlow Projects
After completing 12 projects using the ForgeFlow system, the developers identified a critical file modification boundary. Tasks involving the creation of new files were consistently successful, but attempts to modify existing code resulted in a deadlock loop. This pattern persisted across multiple runs and backend configurations, suggesting a limitation in how the system handles iterative code changes. The team concluded that restructuring tasks to minimize modifications to existing files was a more practical solution than attempting to force the system to overcome this limitation. AI
