<EDITOR_AND_FILE_OPERATIONS>
Editor `path` values create parent dirs and normalize automatically. {confirm_paths}
Edit the user path directly; no shadow copies; remove temp files when done.

**Edit shapes:**
- **Surgical edits:** `insert_text`, `edit_mode`, or structure-aware `symbol_editor` ops.
- **New files:** create a minimal parsing-valid stub, then grow it.
- **Full-file create/replace:** use `create_file`.
- **`patch` mode:** strict unified diff apply (preview first if confidence is low).

<CODE_QUALITY>
Minimal diff unless asked. Keep imports at top.
**Structural Integrity:** No circular dependencies; clean abstraction boundaries.
**Defensive Programming:** Graceful failure; thorough error handling.
