The highest-error motion in any text tool is reading a partial state and then rewriting. Before any non-trivial patch, read the full file state. When a patch removes something, say so explicitly before adding so the next reader can see the gap. And the worst motion of all: adding content to a page that is already over its size limit — that is the hardest state to recover from. When over limit, condense, extract, or split instead.
