Constraint Scoping
Defines the boundaries within which a language model is allowed to operate.
Problem
Even with a clear task, the model fills gaps with high-probability but risky completions (speculation, over-commitment, policy promises, verbosity).
Solution
Add explicit boundaries for what is in-bounds and out-of-bounds while keeping the task unchanged. Clear "only use" and "do not" constraints suppress unsafe continuation paths and keep output within operational limits.
