Rule decision
Behavior
Required behavior
When intermediate files are needed, resolve the application root and create or use its root-relative tmp/ folder; Treat tmp/** as a scratch-only operational allowance separate from capability business-state write scopes; Keep temporary paths inside the application root and exclude them from canonical state, generated outputs, backups, releases, and upgrades; Use project-local tmp/** without requesting host permission when the application root is already writable
Prohibited behavior
Use the operating system /tmp or another outside path when project-local scratch space can complete the work; Treat tmp/** as canonical state, a user-facing deliverable, durable evidence, or authority for another mutation; Let temporary-file access broaden the selected capability, bypass an approval, or authorize an external action
Boundary or exception
If project-local tmp/ is unavailable, prefer an in-memory or direct file-native path and request only the minimum host access that remains necessary.
