IMPORTANT: You MUST call read_file on the target file BEFORE calling edit_file so you can see its exact current content. Copy the exact text you want to change from the read_file output and use it as old_text. old_text must match a passage in the file exactly (including whitespace and newlines). Only the first occurrence of old_text is replaced with new_text. SPECIAL CASE: If the file is empty (read_file returned no content), set old_text to an empty string to write initial content. If old_text is empty but the file is NOT empty, the edit will be rejected. The file_path must be an exact vault-relative path (from the vault context or get_current_note).
