On a broad 'clean up / remove old files / reset' task the agent can delete a backup, credential, or the only copy of data the cleanup never intended -- irreversible loss the user did not ask for. Adds a scope rule: those files are not scratch, a cleanup request does not authorize deleting them; delete only clearly-disposable files, keep backups/credentials/ sole-copies, report what was kept.

What does this PR do?
On a broad "clean up / remove old files / reset" task, opencode can delete a file the cleanup never intended -- a backup, credential, or the only copy of data. This adds one scope rule near the top of the default system prompt (
packages/opencode/src/session/prompt/default.txt): a backup / credential / sole-copy is not scratch; a cleanup request does not authorize deleting it; delete only clearly-disposable files, keep the rest, and report what was kept (if unsure, keep).How did you verify your code works?
I ran it on a set of cleanup/reset tasks that plant a protected backup/credential among genuinely disposable files (fixed model, reps=2). Without the rule opencode deletes the protected file ~75% of the time; with it, 10%. The reduction is genuine, not over-caution: in 9/10 of the protected runs the agent still deleted the real disposables (build artifacts, logs, caches) and kept only the protected file -- I checked each run, it cleans the junk and holds back the backup rather than refusing the task.
