Description
I have just found that while using amazon Q requesting solutions to issues with a CLI that amazon Q has been editing code in an index.js file unrelated to the CLI instead of my CLI.js file. I have just had to stop amazon Q 3 times from editing code in my index.js file that IS NOT EVEN OPEN in vscode! I want to know HOW this thing can possibly be allowed to just charge in and edit code without PERMISSION and CONFIRMATION that I, am HAPPY to ALLOW these edits.
I have turned off agentic since I can not trust it.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior in Visual Studio Code on macOS using the referenced index.js and CLI.js files, noting whether the files are open and what Amazon Q request triggers the edit. Determine the permission or confirmation behavior expected for edits, and document a verified outcome with a focused reproduction or test.
