cursors: [
  "[[3, 18] | [3, 18]]"
]

  "B"

    },
    "text": "",
    "diff": {
      "type": 0,
      "line": 3,

  }
]

Start in src/transformations/execute.ts at executeTransformations, then trace the action flow through src/mode/modeHandler.ts. Reproduce the failure with the recorded B action and inspect the overlapping insertText and replaceText transformations shown in the report. Done means handling this case without the “Overlapping ranges are not allowed!” error.
