Edit tool drops two validation branches

Edit dropped two checks; missing files now always get the usual "did you mean" suggestion.

What

Edit no longer runs its async write-path check before editing, and no longer gives a distinct refusal when a remote call targets a missing file. Every missing-file case now goes to the usual local "Did you mean" suggestion instead.

Details
  • The removed check previously returned error code 15.
  • Edit's auto-classifier input now carries additional fields alongside the diff, in both the structured and non-structured branches.
Evidence

does not exist on this machine, so nothing was changed.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
