Credit & Time Waste: Spending generation credits and waiting 30–60 seconds just to change a tailwind class, fix an import path, or adjust an environment variable makes no sense when a developer can type it in two seconds.

Loss of Deterministic Control: AI prompts regularly introduce unintended refactors, touch untouched components, or rewrite working logic. Direct editing is required for precision and stability.

Degraded Paid Value: As a Plus or free subscriber, paying for a platform that removes basic developer agency is unacceptable.

Making the editor read-only forces paying power users to migrate their stacks to alternatives that provide full code access. Please restore inline manual code editing immediately—even if toggled behind an "Advanced Developer Mode."
