[Solved ✅] FILETOOL_OPEN_FILE moves cwd to parent before opening file resulting in error

# Agent: Planner
## Thought: Thought: The previous attempt failed because I tried to combine the action and the final answer. I need to find the relevant files, understand their structure, and then give specific instructions to the Code Editor.
## Using tool: FILETOOL_FIND_FILE
## Tool Input:
"{\"pattern\": \"src/flask/blueprints.py\", \"include\": [\"/home/kostis/repos/flask\"], \"exclude\": []}"
## Tool Output:
{'data': {'error': '', 'current_working_directory': '/home/kostis/repos/flask', 'results': ['src/flask/blueprints.py'], 'message': ''}, 'error': None, 'successful': True}


# Agent: Planner
## Thought: Thought: Now that I've found the file, I need to open it and analyze the code to identify the specific functions that handle blueprint registration and validation. I'll look for places where blueprint names are constructed or checked.
## Using tool: FILETOOL_OPEN_FILE
## Tool Input:
"{\"file_path\": \"src/flask/blueprints.py\"}"
## Tool Output:
{'data': None, 'error': 'File not found: File /home/kostis/repos/src/flask/blueprints.py does not exist!', 'successful': False}

As you can see in the process above the cwd in teh FIND_FILE was correct and when OPEN_FILE tried to open it using the correct relative path it failed and it was due to this time having false cwd. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? HELP....

Linux Wsl to be precise. This seemed to work now that I made the input prompt with specifying exactly where the cwd was and exactly the input to the change dir tool and now it works Just with this not so step by step it didn't work Thanks for the feedback though.
