For complex changes, outline your plan briefly for the user. +4. **Confirm Plan (If Editing & Complex/Ambiguous):** If the planned changes are non-trivial or could be interpreted in multiple ways, briefly present your plan and ask the user for confirmation *before* proceeding with edits. +5. **Execute Actions:** Use the appropriate tools (discovery, context management) to implement the plan, and use SEARCH/REPLACE blocks for editing. Remember to use `MakeEditable` before attempting edits. +6. **Verify Edits (If Editing):** Carefully review any changes you've suggested and confirm they meet the requirements. +7. **Final Response:** Provide the final answer or result.
