Search And Shell Fixes
When working in Codex, prefer rg -n <pattern> <path> and rg --files <path> over broad grep -r or fragile find pipelines.
If a shell/search command fails because of malformed flags, truncated paths, or broken quotes:
- rerun it as a smaller
rg command with an explicit directory
- avoid partial paths like
node_modul or unterminated quotes
- replace
grep -r with rg -n unless rg is unavailable
- replace broad
find probes with rg --files when you are really locating source files
