 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed the edit-tool hashline prompt to stop steering agents toward `insert after block N:` on closing delimiter lines; opener-only block anchors now point visible closing-line insertions to plain `insert after M:`. ([#2292](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues/2292))
 - Fixed `irc` live message delivery so successfully handed-off messages are no longer enqueued as mailbox mail, so they do not inflate unread `irc` counts
 - Fixed `irc send` with `await: true` to wait for a fresh reply to the current call instead of consuming previously buffered messages
 - Fixed main-session chat output to stop duplicating outbound `irc` sends from the main agent as relay cards

 - Keep every range as tight as the change: a range covers ONLY lines whose content actually changes. Never widen it to swallow an unchanged signature, brace, or neighboring statement just to rewrite a few lines inside — change one line with `replace N..N`, not the whole block around it. Tightness means excluding unchanged lines, not being short: a range where every line genuinely changes is correctly long. Tight ranges bound the blast radius of a stale number: a stale one-line range corrupts one line; a stale wide range shreds every line it spans. This applies to hand-counted `replace N..M` ranges; `replace block N` is exempt — tree-sitter fixes the end.
 - `replace block N` vs `replace N..M`: use `replace block N` to rewrite a WHOLE construct (function / `if` / loop / class body) — tree-sitter resolves its closing line, so a long body can't be mis-counted and a stale end can't clip it mid-block. The edit result echoes the span it matched (`replace block N → resolved lines A-B`); glance at it to confirm you got what you meant. Use `replace N..M` to change specific lines inside a construct.
 - The resolved span of `replace block N` is EXACTLY the node beginning on line N. A leading decorator, attribute, or doc-comment is a separate node and is NOT included; to take a decorated definition together with its decorator, point N at the FIRST decorator line (Python parses `@dec` + `def` as one block). A leading line-comment that parses as its own node (e.g. Rust `///`) is not captured by any single opener — use `replace N..M` spanning the comment and the construct.
+- `insert after block N` follows the same opener-only anchor rule as `replace block N`: N is the first line of the syntactic block, never a line inside it, its closing delimiter, or its last visible line. To append after a closing delimiter you can see, use plain `insert after M:`.
 - To change lines 2 and 5 while keeping 3–4, issue two hunks (`replace 2..2:` and `replace 5..5:`). Untouched lines are simply absent from every range.
 - Pure additions use `insert`, never a widened `replace`. If the change only adds lines, `insert before/after` the spot and keep every existing line out of all ranges. Do NOT `replace` a span of keepers and retype them around the new line "to preserve" them — those retyped keepers are exactly what gets silently dropped when one is forgotten. A keeper that never enters your body cannot be lost. `replace` is only for lines whose own text changes.
 - NEVER use this tool to format code — reordering imports, re-indenting, aligning columns, or any mechanical restyling. That is the project formatter's job; run it instead of hand-editing layout here.
