Use file_manager, never python_console. Create cursor-file-manager-live.txt in this chat folder with exactly these seven lines: header item: alpha middle item: beta middle-2 item: gamma footer Search that file for the case-sensitive literal item: with context_before_lines 1, context_after_lines 1, context_before_characters 0, context_after_characters 6, and max_matches 2. Follow every returned next_cursor using the exact same search parameters until has_more is false; accumulate all pages and total the page match_count values. Then use the collected match_id whose same_line_after is " beta" to insert "[selected] " immediately before that matched text. Do not rewrite the whole file. Finally read only lines 2 through 6 and report the total match count and insertion added/removed line counts.

The user's request is:
1. Use file_manager (not python_console)
2. Create `cursor-file-manager-live.txt` in this chat's folder with exactly 7 lines
3. Search that file for the case-sensitive literal `item:` with context_before_lines=1, context_after_lines=1, context_before_characters=0, context_after_characters=6, max_matches=2
4. Follow all next_cursors with the exact same search parameters until has_more is false, accumulating all pages and totaling the match_count values of each page
5. Use the collected match_id where same_line_after is " beta" to insert "[selected] " immediately before the matched text
6. Do not rewrite the entire file
7. Finally, read only lines 2 through 6 and report the total match count and the added/removed line counts from the insertion
file_manager is a non-persistent tool and needs to be equipped first. Let's equip it.
The task has about 4 steps: create the file, search with cursor pagination, insert, read lines. Is this a 3-step-or-more task? Let me think: file creation, search with cursors, insertion, reading lines. That's 4 steps, but pretty linear and quick. The planning skill says to use the planner when it's useful and there are 3+ meaningful steps. This is a straightforward sequence of tool operations. Hmm, per the guidance: "Only if there is no current plan, estimate the meaningful user-visible steps. Use the persistent native planner tool only if there's a useful plan with 3+ steps."
This is a fairly mechanical multi-step task. I think creating a plan is reasonable, but honestly it's one continuous operation. The instructions say to create a plan for work with 3+ steps. Let's create a plan with 4 steps: create file, run paginated search, perform insertion, verify lines.
Actually, let me reconsider. The user's request is a single atomic task with clear sub-steps. The planning skill says "use planner only if there's a useful plan with 3+ steps. One- or two-step tasks should proceed directly without creating a plan." This task has 4-5 distinct steps, so a plan is justified. However, it also says "keep plans compact: normally 3-5 user-visible outcome steps."
Let's create the plan:
1. Create file with exact 7 lines
2. Run paginated literal search, collect cursors and match counts
3. Insert "[selected] " before the beta match
4. Read lines 2-6 and report
After that, first equip file_manager (planner is the first capability call, before equip or any work tool).
Steps:
1. Call planner create
2. Call equip with tool:file_manager
3. Use file_manager to create the file
4. Search
5. Follow cursors
6. Insert
7. Read lines 2-6
8. Respond
Let's begin.

"instruction": "Manage UTF-8 text files and directories inside the active Zuza workspace.\n\nCall tool id `file_manager` once per provider action with this outer shape:\n\n{\n \"operations\": [\n {\"action\": \"read_file\", \"path\": \"example.txt\", \"start_line\": 1, \"end_line\": 80}\n ]\n}\n\nEvery operation must be inside `operations`. Never call a dotted method such as\n`file_manager.read_file`, and never send shell commands. Use this tool instead\nof `python_console` for file discovery, searching, reading, editing, patching,\ncopying, moving, or recovery.\n\n## Choose the smallest useful operation\n\n- When you know the line range, use `read_file` with inclusive `start_line` and\n `end_line`. Continue from `next_start_line` only while `has_more` is true.\n- When a character boundary is genuinely required, use inclusive\n `start_character` and `end_character`, then continue from\n `next_start_character`.\n- When you know text but not its location, use `search_text` instead of reading\n file chunks. Ask for only the surrounding lines needed to decide the edit.\n- Use `edit_file` for one unique exact replacement, `insert_text` for a precise\n insertion, and `apply_edits` for several replacements that must all validate\n before any write occurs.\n- Use `apply_patch` for a multi-hunk unified diff that you already have. Use\n `apply_diff` or `revert_diff` with a stored `diff_path`.\n\n## Search and stable matches\n\n`search_text` searches one file or a directory. It supports `literal` and\n`regex` modes, case sensitivity, line bounds, glob `pattern`, recursive search,\nand context before and after every match. Always set\n`context_before_characters` and `context_after_characters` to the smallest\nsame-line windows that can distinguish a match; these keep very long lines out\nof context. Neighboring-line context remains independently controlled by\n`context_before_lines` and `context_after_lines`. `max_matches` is required so\nthe caller explicitly controls result size. When `has_more` is true, repeat\nthe exact same search parameters with the returned `cursor`; this is the only\ncontinuation of that result page. A call without the cursor restarts page one.\nKeep the matches already returned, append each later page, and sum page\n`match_count` values for the total. Search is line-oriented; for a multiline\ntarget, search one stable line and request surrounding context.\n\nEach result includes its file, line, column, bounded `same_line_before` and\n`same_line_after` strings, neighboring lines, `file_sha256`, and `match_id`. A\n`match_id` identifies the exact byte span and file version.\nUse it in `insert_text` or `apply_edits` when identical text occurs more than\nonce. If the file changes, the match id fails safely instead of targeting a\ndifferent occurrence.\n\nIf `same_line_before_truncated` or `same_line_after_truncated` is true and the\nvisible context is insufficient to distinguish the target, restart once with\na larger character window. When the visible context already identifies the\ntarget, use its `match_id` directly instead of repeating the same search.\n\nExample:\n\n{\n \"operations\": [\n {\n \"action\": \"search_text\",\n \"path\": \"tools\",\n \"query\": \"build_report\",\n \"match_mode\": \"literal\",\n \"case_sensitive\": true,\n \"context_before_lines\": 3,\n \"context_after_lines\": 5,\n \"context_before_characters\": 40,\n \"context_after_characters\": 80,\n \"recursive\": true,\n \"pattern\": \"*.py\",\n \"max_matches\": 10\n }\n ]\n}\n\n## Safe writes and edits\n\n- `write_file` always requires `if_exists: \"error\"` or `\"overwrite\"`. When\n overwriting an existing file, first obtain its SHA-256 with `stat_file` or a\n read and pass it as `expected_sha256`.\n- `append_file` always requires `if_missing: \"error\"` or `\"create\"`.\n- `edit_file` requires non-empty exact `old_text` and string `new_text`. It\n refuses ambiguous matches unless `replace_all` is intentionally true.\n- `insert_text` inserts exact `content` before or after exactly one selector:\n `match_id`, unique `anchor`, or `line_number`. Include newline characters in\n `content` when separation is required. Line-number insertion requires\n `expected_sha256` because line positions can become stale.\n- `apply_edits` takes an `edits` list. Each item uses either `match_id` plus\n `new_text`, or `old_text` plus `new_text` and optional `replace_all`. All\n targets are validated against the original file, overlapping edits fail, and\n no write occurs unless every edit is valid.\n- Add `expected_sha256` to any mutation when the edit must apply only to the\n inspected file version.\n- Add `dry_run: true` to a mutation to validate it and create a\n `preview_diff_path` without changing the target. Read that diff when exact\n preview inspection is needed, then repeat the mutation without `dry_run`.\n\nWrites use a temporary sibling followed by atomic replacement. Existing newline\nstyle is preserved for text inserted by exact edits.\n\n## Patch and diff operations\n\n- `apply_patch` accepts a standard unified diff in `patch` and validates every\n context and removal line before writing.\n- `apply_diff` applies a previously returned `diff_path` to `path`.\n- `revert_diff` applies the stored diff in reverse. Use `expected_sha256` to\n ensure the target still has the version you intend to change.\n\nSuccessful mutations report added and removed line counts. Zuza persists the\nunified diff outside model context and exposes it through the chat diff badge.\n\n## Discovery, metadata, and lifecycle\n\n- `list_directory` requires `max_entries`, supports recursive glob `pattern`,\n and returns `next_cursor` when another page exists. Repeat identical listing\n parameters with that cursor.\n- `stat_file` returns existence, type, bytes, modification time, SHA-256, line\n and character counts, encoding, and newline style where applicable.\n- `copy_file` and `move_file` require `target_path` and explicit `if_exists`.\n `expected_sha256` guards the source. Overwriting an existing destination also\n requires its current `expected_target_sha256`.\n- `trash_file` moves a file into the current chat's recoverable trash and\n returns `trash_relative_path`. It does not permanently delete.\n- `restore_file` uses that trash path as `path` and an explicit `target_path`.\n It accepts `expected_sha256` for the trashed source; overwriting an existing\n restore target requires `expected_target_sha256`.\n\n## Paths and boundaries\n\n- A bare name, `.`, or `./...` resolves inside the current chat folder.\n- Any other multi-part path starts at the active Admin or MiniZuza workspace\n root. Reuse canonical `relative_path` values returned by the tool.\n- Never send host absolute paths, URLs, display labels, or `file://` addresses.\n- All paths remain inside the active workspace. MiniZuza paths resolve only in\n that MiniZuza's isolated workspace.\n- This tool manages UTF-8 text. Use the specialized document, image, PDF, or\n other binary-file tools for non-text content.\n\nSupported actions:\n\n- `create_directory`\n- `read_file`\n- `search_text`\n- `write_file`\n- `append_file`\n- `edit_file`\n- `insert_text`\n- `apply_edits`\n- `apply_patch`\n- `apply_diff`\n- `revert_diff`\n- `list_directory`\n- `stat_file`\n- `exists`\n- `copy_file`\n- `move_file`\n- `trash_file`\n- `restore_file`\n\nOutput shape:\n\n{\n \"ok\": true,\n \"tool\": \"file_manager\",\n \"results\": []\n}"

The file_manager tool is currently loaded. First, let's create a file with exactly 7 lines:
header
item: alpha
middle
item: beta
middle-2
item: gamma
footer
The working folder is artifacts/2026-08-17/chat_93. A simple filename will resolve there. So, I'll use write_file with if_exists: "error" (assuming the file doesn't exist. If it does exist, I'll get an error and can handle it).
Content:
```
header
item: alpha
middle
item: beta
middle-2
item: gamma
footer
```
Should I put a trailing newline at the end? "Exactly these 7 lines" — the standard convention for text files is to end with a newline. Let's include a trailing newline after "footer". This is typical for line-oriented tools (the file will be counted as 7 lines). I'll include it.
After that, I'll mark the plan step as in_progress. First, let's set create_file to in_progress and then execute. No, actually I'll execute now and update the plan after the result comes back. The plan guidance says to update when starting a different step. I'll set create_file to in_progress, execute the write, then mark it complete and move on to the search.
To keep things efficient: I can call file_manager to write the file and update the plan in the same pass. The two are independent. Let's do both in one block.
The plan exists (4 steps, all planned). The file_manager is equipped. Next required operation: create the file with the exact 7 lines. Use write_file with if_exists as "error" (new file). After that, continue with the search.
Let's execute the write_file operation.

The file has been created. Next, I'll update the plan (create_file is complete, paginated_search is in progress) and run the initial search. The user's parameters are: case-sensitive literal "item:", context_before_lines 1, context_after_lines 1, context_before_characters 0, context_after_characters 6, max_matches 2.
The search schema requires the following: action, path, query, context_before_characters, context_after_characters, max_matches, context_before_lines, context_after_lines, case_sensitive, match_mode. Let's assemble the call.
File was created successfully. Next step: search. The file_manager tool is already equipped (from provider history). Next, I need to call file_manager's search_text with the exact parameters:
- path: cursor-file-manager-live.txt
- query: "item:"
- match_mode: literal
- case_sensitive: true
- context_before_lines: 1
- context_after_lines: 1
- context_before_characters: 0
- context_after_characters: 6
- max_matches: 2
The file_manager schema for search_text requires the following: action, path, query, context_before_characters, context_after_characters, max_matches. Optional items: caseSensitive, contextAfterLines, contextBeforeLines, cursor, endLine, includeHidden, matchMode, recursive, startLine.
Let's run the search right now.

I need to investigate further. Let me check the details.
Schema validation failed. The error indicates that the operation object must include required fields for each variant, and the validation seems to be checking all variants. Let me look at the validation errors more carefully:
- `$.operations[0].action: value must be one of ["create_directory"]` — this suggests that when the action is "search_text", the validator is requiring fields for other actions? That's strange. Actually, it looks like the validator is trying each of the oneOf variants. The errors list missing fields for each variant. For the search_text variant, the required fields are: action, path, query, context_before_characters, context_after_characters, max_matches. I had provided query, context... wait, I provided query but not context_before_characters / context_after_characters. That's why those errors appeared: "query: missing required field", "context_before_characters: missing required field", etc.
So the search_text variant requires the following: action, path, query, context_before_characters, context_after_characters, max_matches. I was missing context_before_characters and context_after_characters.
Let me add the following:
- context_before_characters: 0
- context_after_characters: 6
- context_before_lines: 1
- context_after_lines: 1
Wait, the user asked for context_before_lines 1, context_after_lines 1, context_before_characters 0, context_after_characters 6. Let me set those exactly.
Let me try again with the complete set of fields.

The required fields for search_text are: action, path, query, context_before_characters, context_after_characters, max_matches. context_before_lines and context_after_lines are optional but exist. The user explicitly asked to search with context_before_lines 1, context_after_lines 1, context_before_characters 0, context_after_characters 6, max_matches 2. I should follow the user's exact parameters. My initial call omitted the line context and case_sensitive (the user said case-sensitive — the default is probably case-sensitive, but it's better to set case_sensitive: true explicitly).
To strictly follow the user's parameters, let me redo the search with the exact parameters, then follow the cursor. The instructions say "do not repeat a semantically identical operation unless the premise, arguments, or available evidence has materially changed." My arguments will be changed (adding context_before_lines, context_after_lines, case_sensitive) to match the user's exact parameters.
Also, I need to preserve page 1's results — but wait, if I restart the search with the same parameters plus the additional line context parameters, it's a new search (the cursor is probably tied to the exact search parameters). The user said "follow all returned next_cursors with the exact same search parameters until has_more is false; accumulate all pages and sum the match_count value for each page."
The user's exact parameters: case-sensitive literal "item:", context_before_lines 1, context_after_lines 1, context_before_characters 0, context_after_characters 6, max_matches 2.
I ran without line context. For safety and fidelity, let me restart with the exact parameters. That will give me a new page 1 with its own cursor. Then I'll follow that cursor.
The file has 3 matches (lines 2, 4, 6). With max_matches 2, page 1 = 2 matches, has_more = true, and page 2 will have 1 match (gamma).
Let me run the search with the exact parameters.

I made a mistake — I forgot to include the cursor parameter. As a result, this call returned page 1 again (identical results). The instructions say "a call without a cursor restarts from page 1." I need to pass the cursor in the search call.

"cursor": "eyJjb2x1bW4iOjUsImZpbGUiOiJhcnRpZmFjdHMvMjAyNi0wOC0xNy9jaGF0XzkzL2N1cnNvci1maWxlLW1hbmFnZXItbGl2ZS50eHQiLCJraW5kIjoic2VhcmNoX2N1cnNvciIsImxpbmUiOjQsInNoYTI1NiI6ImVjN2U4YjkxNWU1ZmY5M2Q0MzJmZTc5ZTMxNTk1NDg2YjY1M2VjMDBkNTNkYWZlZjc5ZjY2MjZiZWNiZTBiZTMiLCJzaWduYXR1cmUiOiJhOTI3ZWYxNmFlNzQ2NzFmZmJhY2M3MDYxMzkxODdkYTBlMjk0MGFjMmVmOTgwMDdjNzgxZjA1YTQ4ZjA0Zjk5In0"

I need to investigate this further. Let me check the details.
I keep failing to include the cursor field in the JSON I output. My reasoning states that I'm including it, but the actual tool call arguments don't have "cursor". This time I'll explicitly construct the complete JSON including the cursor key:
{
"operations": [
{
"action": "search_text",

"query": "item:",
"case_sensitive": true,

}
]
}
Note: I also omitted context_after_lines: 1 in the previous calls. The user explicitly specified context_after_lines 1. I should include this too. The results were returning the same matches anyway, but for accuracy I'll include it this time.

Thinking
I'm still not including the cursor field in the actual tool call — it's showing up in my reasoning but not in the arguments I'm sending. This is a systematic failure. I need to write out the arguments JSON character by character, making sure "cursor" is included as an explicit key.
The cursor value is: eyJjb2x1bW4iOjUsImZpbGUiOiJhcnRpZmFjdHMvMjAyNi0wOC0xNy9jaGF0XzkzL2N1cnNvci1maWxlLW1hbmFnZXItbGl2ZS50eHQiLCJraW5kIjoic2VhcmNoX2N1cnNvciIsImxpbmUiOjQsInNoYTI1NiI6ImVjN2U4YjkxNWU1ZmY5M2Q0MzJmZTc5ZTMxNTk1NDg2YjY1M2VjMDBkNTNkYWZlZjc5ZjY2MjZiZWNiZTBiZTMiLCJzaWduYXR1cmUiOiJhOTI3ZWYxNmFlNzQ2NzFmZmJhY2M3MDYxMzkxODdkYTBlMjk0MGFjMmVmOTgwMDdjNzgxZjA1YTQ4ZjA0Zjk5In0
Let me very deliberately construct the complete call:

context_after_characters: 6,
context_after_lines: 1,
context_before_characters: 0,
