Planning a cross-file edit

With Claude Code briefed on the codebase from your /init session, you can pick up your first real ticket from the team backlog.

Your status bar shows "String Replace Editor" for every file action, too technical and confusing for users.

The uigen status bar showing the "String Replace Editor" label for each file action (highlighted), the text you'll replace with "Editing file".

Time to swap it for "Editing file". The string appears in two places: src/lib/tool-labels.ts and src/components/chat/MessageList.tsx. Plan mode is built for cross-file edits like this. Once the change lands, you'll commit it with a generated commit message.
