Research direction
Investigate the plugin's handling of visual selection in the editWithInstructions mode. Look at the Lua source code for commands like ChatGPTEditWithInstructions, focusing on how text is passed to the API. Check for issues with multi cursor or buffer selection. The error in the screenshot suggests a nil value or unexpected argument.
