I end up having to cancel the plan task and try again with even more firm instructions about not trying to read from the parent

Helped: Retrying with even more firm instructions about not reading from the parent directory.

Got in the way: Tool repeatedly tried to read parent directory despite explicit instructions to ignore it.

… I keep denying it with "No" and it gets more creative with what tool/pathing it's trying to read from the parent dir. I end up having to cancel the plan task and try again with even more firm instructions about not trying to read from the parent. That mostly worked the subsequent plan it only tried the once.
