Research direction

Reproduce the issue by enabling "Use external editor" under Preferences, creating a new sketch, and trying to save it. Trace the new-sketch save flow and the external-editor preference handling; the issue names no files or tests, so locate the relevant entry point first. Done means Save is available and successfully saves a newly created sketch in external-editor mode.
