Error message

Invalid value `0` for `position.column`. The column index is 1-indexed.

What it means

A wasm-bindgen Error from Position::to_text_size: the caller passed 0 for position.column. Columns are 1-indexed in the wasm API (via OneIndexed), so 0 is invalid and cannot be mapped to a text offset.

Solutions

1. Pass a 1-indexed column number (first column is 1)
2. Convert 0-based editor coordinates to 1-based before calling the API
