I don't see how indexing is related to this? The question is about how to get the LLM to reliably apply the edit it wants to make. Even when the full current version of the file is in the context, this is one of the flakiest bits of the current LLM workflows.

In my mind the concern was about the LLMs mental model of what the files look like, which affects edits. I see where you're coming from too.
