What happened?

While asking Cline to create a new folder with an empty file in it, the responses stated that it completed the task. The write_to_file tool was not called as the requested changes were null (an empty file), yet Cline stated that it assumes the file was created successfully.

The is a VERY niche edge case and should be very low priority (if fixed at all)

Steps to reproduce

1. Ask Cline to "Add a new folder called Test and in that folder add a file called README.md that is empty"
2. Observe that Cline will respond that it thinks the operation completed successfully.
