- grep runs grep, rg runs rg: drop the substitution, forced --no-ignore-vcs, and BRE-to-rg translation
- add `rtk rg` command (native ripgrep, sharing the same output filter)
- split rewrite rule: grep to rtk grep, rg to rtk rg
- record the agent's real command in tracking (was synthesized as "grep -rn")
- emit nothing on a clean no-match (never-worse parity with the shared guard)
- rename grep_cmd.rs to search.rs, now hosting both engines
- cover engine faithfulness, ignore semantics, and rg savings with issue-referenced tests
- benchmark the grep and rg paths
RTK could emit more tokens than the underlying command on small inputs:
filters that add headers, summaries, re-indentation, or a tee hint, plus
synthetic no-result messages ("0 matches", "No stashes", "[docker] 0
containers") printed where the raw command emitted nothing. Both break the
Transparency principle and inflate tokens instead of saving them.
- core::guard::never_worse(raw, filtered) returns raw when the filtered form
has more tokens (reuses tracking::estimate_tokens), so RTK output is never
larger than the real command.
- runner::emit_guarded(filtered, hint, raw) composes body + tee hint, guards
the whole, prints, and returns what was shown so printed == tracked.
- run_captured_filter guards the run_filtered* family centrally; per-site
guards cover the remaining single-string filters.
- On empty raw, emit empty and preserve the exit code instead of a synthetic
no-result message (the messages were cosmetic with no dependents; #2461
reports the grep one as actively harmful).
- git stash show now propagates its exit code instead of masking a real
failure as Ok(0).
Resolves#2551.
