# set\_snapshot\_root

<div className="flex items-center gap-2">

</div>

> This is a method of the [**Agent**](../classes/Agent) class in the [**agent**](../modules/agent) module.

Root filesystem change-tracking at `project_path`.

Bots/gateway resolve file tools against a per-chat `Workspace` and
attach it *after* construction, but the FileSnapshot backing
:meth:`undo`/:meth:`redo`/:meth:`diff` was created at `__init__` time
rooted at `os.getcwd()`. Without this, `/undo` tracks the wrong
directory (never where the tools actually wrote). Call this once after
the workspace is known so change tracking follows the tools.

Rooting at a new directory clears the undo/redo stacks (they belong to
the previous root). A no-op when the root is unchanged. Returns `True`
when a snapshot manager is rooted at `project_path`.
