edit_work_dir_file.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the edit_work_dir_file.py API endpoint.
• This module handles workdir file operations for edit work dir file.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with edit_work_dir_file.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• edit_work_dir_file.py owns the runtime implementation.
• edit_work_dir_file.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• EditWorkDirFile (ApiHandler)
  • get_methods(cls)
  • async process(self, input: Input, request: Request) -> Output
• Top-level functions:
• async load_file(file_path: str) -> dict
• save_file(file_path: str, content: str) -> bool
• Notable constants/configuration names: MAX_EDIT_FILE_SIZE, BINARY_SAMPLE_SIZE.

Runtime Contracts

• HTTP handlers must derive from helpers.api.ApiHandler; WebSocket handlers must derive from helpers.ws.WsHandler.
• Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change.
• EditWorkDirFile is an ApiHandler.
• EditWorkDirFile defines process(...).
• EditWorkDirFile defines get_methods(...).
• Observed side-effect areas: filesystem reads, filesystem writes.
• Imported dependency areas include: helpers, helpers.api, helpers.file_browser, mimetypes, os.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: FileBrowser, browser.get_full_path, os.path.isdir, os.path.getsize, files.is_probably_binary_file, mimetypes.guess_type, browser.save_text_file, error_str.strip, Exception, os.path.basename, error_str.split, file.read, line.split.strip, file_path.startswith, content.encode, runtime.call_development_function, extension.call_extensions_async, self._extract_error_message, line.split.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes.
• Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes.
• Use helpers.api.Response for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies.

Verification

• Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists.
• No direct test reference was found by name search; choose the nearest behavioral test or perform a focused smoke check.
