This explain why some editors are returning immediately and does not respect the contract of the edit() utility.

Also added a warning admonition to the edit() docstring itself so developers relying on it get informed about the limitations.

Ah? Where? Maybe you left them on your side in a pending review but did not submit them, which is why I don't see them. Happened to me last time: your GitHub review comments are not public until you submit the whole review.
