Chat constantly attempts to create or modify one or more files totalling more than approx 1500? characters, which hits some arbitrary limit in its file editing (presumably because file contents are being passed along literally as part of the command) and then has to spend several additional turns manually editing each file, sometimes multiple times if it is large enough.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Have chat work on something big enough

What is the expected behavior?

It can write/edit/remove any number of lines or chars to a new file or within an existing one without ever hitting this error and causing countless wasted turns and tokens
