Struct EditResult 

pub struct EditResult {
    pub path: String,
    pub original_content: String,
    pub new_content: String,
    pub diff: String,
    pub applied: bool,
    pub changed: bool,
    pub action: &'static str,
    pub dest_path: Option<String>,
    pub match_count: usize,
    pub removed: usize,
}

The result of an editing operation.

Fields

path: String

Path to the affected file (as provided by the caller).

original_content: String

The original file content before the edit.

new_content: String

The new content after the edit.

diff: String

A unified diff between original and new content.

applied: bool

Whether the file was actually written to disk.

changed: bool

Whether the content changed.

action: &'static str

Action/kind of the edit (e.g. “append”, “create”, “replace”, “rename”, “doc.set”). Helps consumers (like Bline) distinguish cross-file or op type without parsing path.

dest_path: Option<String>

For cross-file operations (e.g. file_rename, md_move_section with to), the destination path if different from path.

match_count: usize

Number of times the search pattern matched in the original content.

Only meaningful for replace operations; defaults to 0 for other operation types (doc, md, file, patch, tidy).

removed: usize

Number of items removed by the operation (keys, array elements, etc.).

Meaningful for doc.delete and doc.delete_where (including idempotent no-ops where removed == 0 and changed == false). Defaults to 0 for other operation types. Mirrors MCP/tx JSON mutation summaries so embedders can report delete outcomes without re-reading the file or parsing diffs (#1459 / #1439).
