Got in the way: Claude Code prefers sed over range-capable read tools.
… We used to use Augment Code at work which has a thing called Context Engine - basically an MCP that can answer natural language queries about pre-indexed code. Then we switched to Claude Code, which for some reason prefers to use sed to read from files using line ranges from its own memory (this despite having a range-capable read tool). I don't know, does that really mean that sed is the highly optimized path?
