Research direction

Read packages/core/src/ripgrep.ts and packages/opencode/src/tool/grep.ts, tracing how grep() computes skipped and how Match[] reaches the tool caller. Decide how the skip count and any sample of reasons should cross that boundary, then ensure non-zero skips produce a one-line note so partial results are visible to the caller and user.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

Found during v0.9.7 release review (End User persona), building on the ripgrep record-isolation fix in ca9b34a523 (#1094).

grep() in packages/core/src/ripgrep.ts computes a skipped tally for a single aggregate Effect.logWarning, but the return value consumed by packages/opencode/src/tool/grep.ts is just Match[] — the skip count/reasons never reach the tool caller or the user.

Risk: a tree with many corrupted/oversized/non-UTF-8 files (or a systematic issue) now returns a partial result that reads exactly like an honest 'no matches' to both agent and user, with the only trace in a debug log almost nobody opens. This is the same class of silent-data-loss bug #1094 was written to fix, just one layer further out.

Suggested fix: thread the skip count (and maybe a sample of skip reasons) through to the tool result, surfaced as a one-line note when non-zero (e.g. 'N records skipped due to encoding/size issues').
