It now says to work from the current contents, to say something if the change looks wrong rather than quietly undoing it, and otherwise not to comment on it.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The note refers to the Read tool by name instead of a hardcoded string, so it stays correct if the tool is renamed.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`changed on disk since you last read it`\n\n- Area: File Watching\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
