The `grep` tool used to include 4 lines of context around the match, but
the lines included would often be unhelpful. This PR improves this
behavior by using the range of the parent syntax node that contains the
full line(s) matched.
The match headers will also now include symbol breadcrumbs so that the
model can already gather code structure before/without reading files.

This positively impacts the `add_arg_to_trait_method` eval example with
better diff output, fewer tool failures, and reduced total turns.
Note: We have some plans to use a an "elision" approach where we would
combine all matches for a given file, skipping lines between them while
keeping symbol declaration lines. The theory is that this would be map
more closely to the expected input for edits. For now, this PR is a
significant improvement.
Release Notes:
- Agent: Enrich `grep` tool output with syntax information
Interesting things about this example:
* It's a useful, non-trivial change I made with the agent in Tree-sitter
* It runs fast
* It frequently showcases edit file errors
* It occasionally completely errors out due to errors parsing tool call
input JSON
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR significantly improves the quality of the initial file search
that occurs when the model doesn't yet know the full path to a file it
needs to read/edit.
Previously, the assertions in file_search often failed on main as the
model attempted to guess full file paths. On this branch, it reliably
calls `find_path` (previously `path_search`) before reading files.
After getting the model to find paths first, I noticed it would try
using `grep` instead of `path_search`. This motivated renaming
`path_search` to `find_path` (continuing the analogy to unix commands)
and adding system prompt instructions about proper tool selection.
Note: I know the command is just called `find`, but that seemed too
general.
In my eval runs, the `file_search` example improved from 40% ± 10% to
98% ± 2%. The only assertion I'm seeing occasionally fail is "glob
starts with `**` or project". We can probably add some instructions in
that regard.
