Research direction
Start by reproducing file editing on an external SD card using the reported Xperia XZ2/Android 9 setup, then compare the same operations on internal storage. Trace the existing file-editing entry point and Android storage handling. Done means files on supported external SD cards can be written, edited, and modified without breaking internal storage behavior.
