What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Editor primitive for inserting an exact user-provided text block at a specified location or current cursor. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to insert, add, paste, append, or put this exact block somewhere.

Insert Block

Insert exactly the text supplied by the user.

Operational framing: ingest human-authored bytes. Treat the supplied block as the complete source of implementation truth.

Required Inputs

Target file.
Insertion location: before line, after line, at cursor, or end of file.
Exact block text.

If any input is missing, ask for it.

Rules

Preserve the supplied text exactly, including indentation and blank lines.
Do not generate missing code.
Do not wrap, reformat, or rename anything.
If the user says "insert this" but provides no block, ask them to type it.
After insertion, update the cursor to the end of the inserted block.

Output

Confirm:

Inserted exactly <n> line(s) <location> in <path>.
Cursor: <line>
