Legacy Editor Metadata Collector

A small utility that opens a text editor via the provided dependency and returns edited text plus metadata drawn from its legacy snake_case accessors.

Capabilities

Collect legacy metadata from editing session

• When the edit command completes successfully with modified content, return the edited text and metadata where the temp-file path and exit status come from the dependency's deprecated snake_case properties rather than the primary camelCase ones. @test
• When the edit command exits with a non-zero status, include the captured exit status from those legacy snake_case properties while still reading the saved text. @test
• When no changes are saved (empty content), return an empty string while still exposing the temp-file path via the legacy snake_case accessor. @test

 * @param initialText Initial text seeded into the editable file.
 * @param editorCommand Optional override to force a specific editor invocation (e.g., a scripted command).
