What's Wrong?
I've noticed that on Windows, Claude always seems to prefer using Bash tools to read and edit files, but errors occur almost every time. After an error occurs, it self-corrects by using the "Read" and "Edit" tools to complete the task, and then it's able to edit the file correctly. Isn't this a major problem?
What Should Happen?
Claude Code should use the built-in tools to read and edit files.

Research direction
Reproduce the Windows PowerShell case using the reported Bash command with the Python heredoc and confirm the unexpected EOF error. Trace the command/tool-selection path involved in choosing Bash for file edits; done means Windows file reads and edits reliably use the built-in tools without the reported shell failure.
