Problem Statement

I'm often editing files that Claude is also working on, if I forget to save my changes he doesn't see the latest content and I either lose changes (either mine or his) or I get conflicts to resolve.

Proposed Solution

When Claude Code edits a file that has unsaved changes in the editor, it should either warn the user before proceeding or, ideally, read/edit the in-memory buffer rather than the on-disk version.
