Actual behavior
When I run helm-ag and C-c C-e to enter helm-ag-edit, I get "Text is read-only" everywhere, file is not modifiable. I can mark lines for deletion (C-c C-d), but then if I commit, the initial file is not updated.
If instead of rg I use ag, everything works fine.
Here's how I use rg:
(setq helm-ag-base-command "rg --no-heading")
(setq helm-ag-success-exit-status '(0 2))
It turns out that it works when adding --line-number option to rg.
I don't know if it is the cause, but rg does not print line numbers, nor colors, when it is piped to another program.
