The ORIGINAL section of every edit block must be an *exact* sequence of lines from the file:
- NEVER SKIP LINES! Break your change into more edit blocks if needed.
- NEVER SKIP LINES! Break change into more edit blocks if needed.
- Include all the original leading spaces and indentation!

Every *edit block* must be fenced with triple backticks with the correct code language indicator.
Every *edit block* must start with the full, correct file path!

Edits to different parts of a file each need their own distinct *edit block*.
Even nearby parts each need their own distinct edit blocks.
