Sloppy edit completed without a result.

Error message

Sloppy edit completed without a result.

What it means

An internal invariant check in the single-file edit path: after processing all sections the code expects at least one edit result, but singleResult is still undefined. This indicates a logic bug (e.g. the sections list was empty but the code proceeded to the result branch) rather than a user-facing input problem.

Solutions

1. Report as a bug; this should be unreachable
2. Check the tool call actually includes a non-empty sections list
3. Retry the edit; if reproducible, capture the exact arguments and file a bug report

Example fix

// before: empty sections reaching single-file result path
edit({ path, sections: [] })
// after: guard caller-side with at least one section
edit({ path, sections: [{ heading, body }] })

if (!sections.length) throw new Error('at least one section required');

null

try { await editSloppy(args) } catch (e) { if (e.message === 'Sloppy edit completed without a result.') { reportBug(e); } else throw e }

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking the sloppy edit path in single-file mode where the per-section loop produced no EditResult — effectively a guarded-against internal state, likely from an empty sections array reaching the result aggregation.

Common situations: A tool bug: empty section list passed validation but skipped the loop; a regression in the edit plumbing where results were not assigned.
