Research direction
Investigate how broot opens the associated editor for files. Look at the source code responsible for spawning external editors, likely in the 'src/' directory. The error messages are from VS Code's internal subprocess, suggesting broot's error handling might be catching unexpected output. Check if broot uses std::process::Command to spawn the editor and how it handles stderr and process detachment. Also consider environment specific factors like Windows, git bash, and zsh. Review the one comment on the issue for any additional context.
