Content
Before invoking any edit tool on a file, you must have invoked a read tool on the same file in the current session. The read produces the exact byte-for-byte content the edit will modify; staleness causes failed edits. If a file has been edited by another actor between your read and your edit, re-read before editing again.Applicable turns: tool
