Research direction

Start by reproducing the two reported path cases, /folder:folder2/file.ext, and inspect the plugin's path parsing and file-creation error handling. Done means both invalid-path cases produce consistent, accurate errors rather than differing messages and console exceptions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
