Issue: Redundant border definition. The
classNamealready sets the border color viaborder-[var(--color-matterai-border)]and width viaborder, making the inlinestyleprop unnecessary.Fix: Remove the
styleprop to rely on the CSS classes.Impact: Cleaner code and better separation of concerns

🟠 Logic Error
Issue: Removing the file path header (--- ${relPath} ---) for all successful reads creates ambiguity when read_file is used for multiple files. The LLM will receive a concatenated string of file contents without delimiters, making it impossible to distinguish between files.
Fix: Conditionally add the header back if fileResults.length > 1 to ensure multi-file reads are properly delimited.
Impact: Prevents LLM confusion and hallucinations when working with multiple files

🔴 Runtime Error
Issue: file_path can be undefined during partial tool execution (streaming), but it's passed to removeClosingTag which likely expects a string. This will cause a runtime crash when the model is typing the parameters.
Fix: Provide a fallback empty string file_path || "" to ensure type safety.
Impact: Prevents extension crash during tool usage

🟡 Code Quality
Issue: exitStatus is assigned using = which overwrites any existing value, whereas other paths (like L341) use += to append. This inconsistency might lead to data loss. Also, <undefined, notify user> might be interpreted as an HTML tag in Markdown, potentially hiding it.
Fix: Use += for consistency and parentheses () instead of <> for safety.
Impact: Ensures status history is preserved and prevents display issues in Markdown interfaces.
