An absurd example is how harnesses like Codex, Claude code have no 'cut/paste this range of chars' affordance so if you want to move a block of code the LLM galaxy brain rewrites it in token space in the new file.

It ~can~ be done using standard bash utils but there just isn't a kind of standard pattern for 'move this text block via CLI tools' so the LLM and human both overlook it

Anecdotally, when I see coding agents preform this action- I see them using bash. IMO less tools is better, if the agent has a shell- so not having a dedicated cut/paste tool is good.
