 - Keep stages small and single-responsibility. Prefer more stages over large monolithic
   prompts.
+- **Declare `touches` to fence a stage to its area.** When a stage's job belongs to one part of
+  the tree (a frontend/client stage → `["frontend/**"]`; a stage that edits only the API layer →
+  `["apps/server/**"]`), list those globs in `touches`. Every concrete path the stage `writes`

+  that also starts adding backend routes. Set `touches` narrowly on any stage whose scope is a
+  single area; omit it only for genuinely cross-cutting stages. If a change truly needs a
+  different area, give it its own stage that owns that area rather than widening an unrelated one.
 - **Prefer the real scaffolder over hand-writing config.** A stage that sets up a project should
   use the package manager's own generator — e.g. `npm create vite@latest <dir> -- --template
   react-ts` — because it produces a correct, complete, current file set (a hand-written
