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
