Code search showed the old truncation +points in `js/src/tool/read.ts` and `rust/src/tool/read.rs`. + +Online research notes are in `research/online-references.md`. + +## Summary + +The previous read and search tools hid important information in long lines. The +read tool kept only the start of long lines, and the search tool could omit a +whole long matching line, which made the match itself invisible. The default +read behavior also only showed the beginning of a long file, so an agent had no +first-call signal about how the file ended. + +The implemented solution adds shared column-window formatting in both +JavaScript and Rust. The read tool now summarizes long files with first and +last line ranges by default, supports explicit `columnOffset` and +`columnLimit`, and summarizes long single lines with omitted-column markers. The +search tool now keeps long matching lines readable by showing a window centered +on the match and marking omitted column ranges. + +## Requirements + +| ID | Requirement from issue #230 | Resolution | +| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| R1 | Support long lines in tools | Added column-window helpers in JS and Rust that preserve first/last or match-focused text with omitted-column markers. | +| R2 | Search should show the matching segment, not `[Omitted long matching line]` | JS grep now parses ripgrep JSON submatch offsets; Rust grep uses `regex::Regex::find`. Both format a match-focused window. | +| R3 | Read should allow columns, not only lines | Added `columnOffset` and `columnLimit` parameters in JS and Rust read schemas and implementations. | +| R4 | Default read should give a useful whole-file overview | When no explicit line range is supplied and the file exceeds the line limit, read returns the first and last ranges with `... [omitted lines X..Y] ...`. | +| R5 | One long-line file should show first and last columns | Default long-line read uses first columns, omitted-column range, and last columns. | +| R6 | Preserve previous behavior with tests before changing logic | Added regression tests for existing IDs/schema behavior plus failing long-file, long-line, explicit-column, and grep match-window cases before the fix. | +| R7 | Collect issue data and perform case-study analysis | Added this folder with raw GitHub artifacts, online/library research, requirements, alternatives, and verification notes. | +| R8 | Check existing components/libraries that can help | Evaluated ripgrep JSON output, `grep-printer` JSON wire format, existing JS ripgrep wrapper, and Rust `regex`/`walkdir` implementation. | + +## Root Cause + +The original read implementations used a fixed `MAX_LINE_LENGTH` prefix +truncation. This discarded the end of long single-line files and did not expose +any parameter for column-level follow-up reads. + +The JS search implementation used plain ripgrep output, so it had no structured +match offset to select a useful snippet. External research also confirmed that +ripgrep output-control flags such as `-M` do not apply when `--json` is used, +so Agent must do its own windowing when it consumes structured output. + +The Rust grep implementation searched lines directly and printed the full line +in content mode. It needed the same match-focused formatting to keep parity +with JS behavior and avoid huge single-line output. + +## Existing Components Checked + +- JS `Ripgrep.filepath()` already resolves the bundled ripgrep binary. +- ripgrep `--json` emits match messages with `lines`, `line_number`, and + `submatches` byte offsets, which is enough to find the matching segment. +- Rust `regex::Regex::find` returns the byte range for a match in a line. +- Existing read/grep tests already cover stable tool IDs, schemas, simple + reads, offsets, binary handling, glob matching, regex matching, and grep + output modes. + +## Solution Options + +### Option 1: Increase or remove the line-length limit + +This would make the example match visible, but it would also dump very large +minified files into the model context. It does not solve targeted follow-up +reads by column. + +### Option 2: Use ripgrep max-column flags + +This is not reliable for the JS search path because ripgrep documents that +standard output shaping flags such as `-M` have no effect with `--json`. It also +would not help the read tool. + +### Option 3: Add Agent-owned column windows + +This is the implemented plan.
