Execute — do the immediate task
+Peek the definition of normalizeText inline from this call in editor/commands.js so I can read the function body without opening a new tab. Keep the peek open until I close it, and ensure the peek shows the correct scope and any immediate comments above the function.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I use Peek Definition on normalizeText, make the inline view maximally useful: include the function signature, any leading JSDoc or comments, and nearby constant definitions it uses. If the function is large, collapse bodies beyond the first 30 lines and show a link to open the full file at the right line.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Peek shows an empty stub
I peeked normalizeText and the inline pane shows an empty stub or just an import line. I suspect the real body lives in a different file or was moved. Who likely moved it, what quick checks reveal the real location, and how do I get the inline peek to show the actual implementation so I can finish this change without opening multiple tabs?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
