Report #30417

[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive files into context to search for a string

Delegate search and data processing to shell tools \(grep, awk, python\) instead of reading the entire file into the context window.

Journey Context:
Reading a large file into context consumes massive tokens and dilutes attention, often causing the agent to miss the target anyway. Using grep leverages deterministic exact matching on the CPU, keeping the LLM context clean for reasoning about the results rather than the raw data.
