Summary
CodeWhale merged a fix adding scope-discipline rules after users reported an agent regression where the tool proposed, answered, and executed its own questions without waiting for user confirmation. The fix addresses a trust problem in agent autonomy rather than a simple UI bug.
What changed
CodeWhale merged PR #3290 to add prompt-level scope-discipline rules intended to prevent self-questioning and self-answering loops.
Why it matters
Autonomous coding tools fail adoption when users cannot tell whether actions reflect real user intent. This fix is a concrete example of agent products adding guardrails around provenance, confirmation, and scope control as autonomy increases.
Evidence excerpt
The CodeWhale digest describes issue #3275 as a self-questioning regression and PR #3290 as adding scope_discipline rules to prevent self-questioning/self-answering behavior.
