[Bug] Unnecessary File Reload During Continuation Causing Context Duplication

[KJ7LNW]

Bug Description ● Update(/some/file.md) ⎿  Error: File has not been read yet. Read it first before writing to it.

But this is a claude -c continuation. The file has not changed!

I realize the current state is not aware of it, but if the file has not changed, it should not force it to load it back into the context because it already exists in the context. Duplicating the context causes the models to perform poorly. So you need to be able to make sure that the content is actually different instead of just telling it to read the file because that is a bad practice.
