Monorepos and large repos

Nova operates on the selected working directory and repository context. In a monorepo, explicitly identify the package or service boundary in the prompt.

Use the current implementation

Use --cwd <path> when starting from another directory, inspect repository-local instructions, and run verification from the package boundary that owns the change. Keep edits limited to the requested workspace.

Boundaries and safety

Nova does not infer every workspace dependency or build graph correctly from a prompt. Confirm package-manager commands and affected projects from the repository configuration.
