unfreeze

The unfreeze command removes edit restrictions previously set by the freeze or guard commands, allowing file modifications throughout the entire codebase rather than being confined to a specific directory. Use this when you have finished working within a restricted directory boundary and need to edit files in other parts of the project, or when switching your focus to a different codebase section.

# Unfreeze - Remove Edit Boundary

## Instructions

When the user invokes `/octo:unfreeze`, remove the freeze mode restriction.

### Deactivation

Remove the freeze state file:

```bash
_OCTO_SESSION_ID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID:-$$}}"
rm -f "/tmp/octopus-freeze-${_OCTO_SESSION_ID}.txt"
```

### What It Does

Removes the edit boundary set by `/octo:freeze` or `/octo:guard`. After unfreezing, Edit and Write operations are unrestricted again.

**Note:** This does NOT deactivate careful mode. If careful mode was activated (via `/octo:careful` or `/octo:guard`), destructive command warnings remain active.

### Usage

```
/octo:unfreeze
```

After deactivation, confirm to the user:

```
🔓 Freeze mode deactivated. Edits are no longer restricted to a specific directory.
```

## When to Use

- Finished debugging a specific module
- Need to edit files outside the current freeze boundary
- Switching focus to a different part of the codebase
