A perfectly writable file threw Error editing file with no further explanation and no error logs that I could find. Claude ended up going on to edit that file without needing to be re-prompted.

- Ask Claude to edit a file
Expected Behavior
- No error messages, Claude was able to edit file
- Or, if Claude couldn't edit the file, and there was an error message, an explanation or a pointer to an error log with detailed logs
Actual Behavior
Bland error message (no details or info on how to get details); Claude was able to edit the file.
