Thinking
Okay, now I understand the problem. The `grep_search` tool uses `| head -n %d` to limit results. The problem: `head -n` limits the number of lines, not the number of matches. When context lines are used (`-B`/`-A`), each match can produce multiple lines (the match line + context lines + the `--` separator between groups). So `head -n 100` could return far fewer than 100 matches. The fix suggested in the Issue: use grep's `--max-count=NUM` option. But there's a subtle point: `--max-count` limits the number of matching lines per file. That is, if you're searching multiple files, each file can have up to NUM matches. Hmm, that's a subtle point. GNU grep's `--max-count` (or `-m`) is "stop reading a file after NUM matching lines". So it's per-file, not global. The Issue author (abrander) explicitly suggests using `--max-count=NUM` instead of `head`. Leon's comment says: "This is a straightforward fix β€” replace the `head -n` approach with grep's native `--max-count` option to properly limit matches rather than lines." So the task is to follow the suggestion: replace `head -n` with `--max-count`. But wait β€” there's a subtle point about the default value. The tool description says "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)". But the code does: ```go maxResults := params.MaxResults if maxResults == 0 { maxResults = 100 } ``` So 0 actually means "default 100", not "no limit". Hmm, the description says 0 means no limit, but the code treats 0 as 100. That's an inconsistency, but it's not what the Issue is asking about. Let me focus on the Issue: replace `head -n` with `--max-count`. Let me think about what the cleanest fix is: Option A: Simply replace `| head -n %d` with `--max-count=%d` in the args. ```go args := []string{"grep", "-Rn", "-I", "-H", "-E"} ... args = append(args, "-e", shellQuote(params.Pattern), shellQuote(target)) cmd := strings.Join(args, " ") ``` And add `--max-count` before the pattern: ```go args = append(args, "--max-count="+strconv.Itoa(maxResults)) ``` Hmm, wait, but there's a problem: with `--max-count`, grep exits with status 0 when it finds matches... actually, grep's exit status: 0 if any line is selected, 1 if no line is selected, 2 if there's an error. The behavior doesn't change with `--max-count`. So the existing error handling still works. One important subtle point: with `--max-count`, when grep stops after NUM matching lines, it outputs the trailing context lines. So the output might be slightly more than NUM lines, but that's fine. Another subtle point: `--max-count` is per-file. So in a multi-file search, you could get up to NUM matches per file. Is that acceptable? The Issue author explicitly suggested this option, and Leon agreed it's a straightforward fix. The tool description says "Maximum number of matching lines to return". With per-file semantics, the total could exceed that. But the Issue explicitly asks for `--max-count`. Hmm, as a senior developer, should I point this out? Let me think about what the best implementation is. Actually, let me reconsider. The Issue says: "it uses `head -n %d` to limit the number of lines, not the number of matches. I suggest using this grep argument instead of the head-crap: --max-count=NUM". So the fix is: use `--max-count=NUM`. Let me also check the semantics of the default value. Currently: - `maxResults == 0` β†’ 100 (default) - The description says "default: 100, 0 means no limit" The description and code contradict each other. Since we're touching this code anyway, should we fix it? The Issue is about max_results not doing what it's supposed to do. The description says "0 means no limit". With `--max-count`, passing 0 means "stop reading a file immediately without reading input" β€” that would break the search! So we must not pass 0 to `--max-count`. We need to keep the 0 β†’ 100 default mapping (or handle 0 as "no limit" by not passing the flag). Hmm. The description says "0 means no limit". With `--max-count`, "no limit" would be `-1` (treated as infinity, which is the default). So we could do: ```go if maxResults == 0 { maxResults = 100 } ``` Keep this, and the description... hmm. Let me not over-engineer. The minimal surgical fix aligned with the Issue: 1. Replace `| head -n %d` with `--max-count=%d` in the grep arguments. 2. Keep the 0 β†’ 100 default (since passing 0 to `--max-count` would stop immediately without reading anything, which is definitely broken). 3. Update the tests that assert the `| head -n 100` suffix. 4. Update the error handling comments that reference head. Wait, there's also the error handling: ```go output, stderr, err := ctx.Exec(context.Background(), cmd) if err != nil { // grep exits non-zero (with empty output) when there are no // matches; that's a normal result, not a tool failure. if strings.TrimSpace(output) == "" && strings.TrimSpace(stderr) == "" { return "No matches found.", nil } return "", fmt.Errorf("grep_search: %w", execErr(err, output, stderr)) } if strings.TrimSpace(output) == "" { // The pipeline's exit status is head's, so a grep failure (e.g. // a bad regex) doesn't surface as an error; its diagnostic is on // stderr instead of in the match list. if msg := strings.TrimSpace(stderr); msg != "" { return "", fmt.Errorf("grep_search: %s", msg) } return "No matches found.", nil } ``` Without the pipeline, the exit status is grep's. A grep failure (bad regex) exits with status 2 and outputs a diagnostic to stderr. The `err != nil` branch handles that: output is empty, stderr is non-empty β†’ returns an error via execErr. Good. The second branch (err == nil but empty output) β€” without head, when would grep exit 0 with empty output? Actually, if grep exits 0, it must have selected at least one line... unless there's some weird case. Hmm, actually with `--max-count`, if grep stops after NUM matching lines... it still outputs those lines. So exit 0 with empty output basically can't happen. But leaving the defensive branch is harmless. However, the comment "The pipeline's exit status is head's" becomes stale. We should update the comment. Actually, wait. Let me reconsider: with a pipe, `ctx.Exec` probably runs the command via `sh -c`. The exit status of the pipeline is that of the last command (head). Without the pipe, the exit status is grep's. The fakeContext in the tests β€” let me look at how Exec is faked to understand what the tests are checking. Let me look at the fakeContext and the whole test file, plus how ctx.Exec works. Also, let me check whether there are other places that reference head (e.g., documentation, README). Let me also check the git log to understand the project's conventions. Let me read the rest of tools_test.go (lines 1-120 and 230-335) to check fakeContext and other tests.

I see, so `Exec` runs the command via `sh -c` inside the docker container. The current command is a shell string: `grep -Rn -I -H -E ... -e 'pattern' '/project' | head -n 100`. Fix: remove the pipe to head and add `--max-count=N` to grep's arguments. Key considerations: 1. **`--max-count` is per-file.** With `-R` (recursive), each file gets its own count. The issue author explicitly suggested this, and Leon agreed. The tool's description says "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)". With per-file semantics, the total can exceed max_results when searching multiple files. But that's what the issue is asking for. I'll implement it as suggested, but I can mention the per-file nuance in the comment. Actually, wait β€” should I be more careful here? Let me think about what "correct" means. The complaint: "it uses `head -n %d` to limit the number of LINES instead of the number of matches". The suggested fix: `--max-count=NUM`. Both the issue author (the repo owner, a real human) and the EM agree this is the fix. I'll implement exactly that. That said, as a senior developer I should think about whether per-file semantics is a problem. If you search the whole project with a pattern that matches in many files, you could get 100 matches per file Γ— N files. That could be a huge output. But the same problem exists conceptually... no, actually with head -n 100 the total was capped at 100 lines. Hmm. Options: a. `--max-count=N` β€” as suggested. Per-file cap. b. Keep a global cap: e.g. use `--max-count=N` per file, and additionally... no, that's over-engineering. The issue is explicit: "I suggest using this grep argument instead of the head-crap". The owner's suggestion wins. I'll implement `--max-count`. But wait β€” one more consideration about the description text: "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)". With `--max-count`, "0 means no limit" is wrong β€” 0 means "stop immediately without reading input". And the code maps 0 β†’ 100. So the description is already inconsistent with the code (0 β†’ 100, not no-limit). Should I fix the description to match the code? The code says `if maxResults == 0 { maxResults = 100 }`. So 0 means "use the default 100". The description says "0 means no limit". These contradict. Hmm, what's the *intended* behavior? The description is what the LLM sees. If the LLM passes max_results=0 expecting no limit, it gets 100. That's a minor bug, but it's not what the issue is about. With `--max-count`, the natural way to express "no limit" is `-1` (infinity, grep's default). So I could: - Keep 0 β†’ 100 default mapping, and fix the description to "default: 100" (removing the "0 means no limit" claim). - Or make 0 mean no limit (pass `-1`), matching the description. The issue is specifically about the head vs max-count problem. The 0 semantics is a separate inconsistency. As a surgical change, I should fix the issue at hand. But leaving a description that says "0 means no limit" while the code does 0β†’100 is a lie to the LLM. Since I'm touching this exact line anyway, and it directly affects the correctness of the max_results argument (the issue's subject), I think it's reasonable to align them. Which direction? The description says "default: 100, 0 means no limit". The code treats 0 as "unset" (a JSON int defaults to 0 when omitted). Since it's an optional parameter, 0 is the sentinel for "not provided". So the code's 0β†’100 is the natural design: omit β†’ 100. If someone explicitly passes 0, they probably mean "no limit" per the description, but... they can't distinguish "omitted" from "explicit 0" with a plain int. Hmm, I could use `*int` to distinguish, but that's more invasive. Let me think about what's cleanest and most defensible: Option 1 (minimal): Keep 0β†’100, change description to "Maximum number of matching lines to return per file (default: 100)". Remove the false "0 means no limit". Option 2: Make 0 mean no limit (pass --max-count=-1... actually -1 is grep's default, so just omit the flag). Then the description stays accurate: "default: 100" β€” wait no, if 0 means no limit and omitted means 0, then omitted β†’ no limit, which contradicts "default: 100". Hmm, with a plain int, omitted == 0. So: - Current code: omitted β†’ 100. Description: "default: 100, 0 means no limit" (the second clause is unreachable/incorrect). - To make "0 means no limit" true, I'd need to distinguish omitted from explicit 0 β†’ `*int`. Going with Option 1: keep the 0β†’100 sentinel behavior (which is what the code does and what "default: 100" means), and fix the description to be accurate. That's the minimal, honest change. Actually, wait. Let me re-read the description: "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)". Hmm, and with --max-count's per-file semantics, the description should probably say "per file". Let me write: "Maximum number of matching lines to return per file (default: 100)". Hmm, but is that overreach? The issue is about the mechanism. But the description text is part of the tool's contract, and it's now inaccurate in two ways (0 means no limit is false; per-file semantics). I think updating it is within the spirit of the fix. I'll keep it concise. 2. **Error handling comment**: The comment "The pipeline's exit status is head's, so a grep failure (e.g. a bad regex) doesn't surface as an error" becomes stale. Without the pipe, a grep failure (exit 2, e.g. bad regex) surfaces as err != nil with stderr β†’ handled by the first branch (output empty, stderr non-empty β†’ error). So the second branch (err == nil, empty output) is nearly unreachable, but I'll keep it as defensive. I'll update the comment to reflect the new reality. Actually, let me think about whether the second branch is still needed. `grep` exits 0 only if it selected at least one line. With `--max-count`, if it stops after NUM matches, it has output. So exit 0 + empty output shouldn't happen. But it's cheap to keep the defensive branch; I'll just fix the comment. Hmm, actually one subtle case: `--max-count=0`... we never pass 0 (0β†’100). OK. Another subtle case: what if grep exits 0 with output but there's also stderr? Fine, we return the output. 3. **Tests to update**: - `TestGrepSearchLiteralPathSearchesFileDirectly`: expects suffix `shellQuote("/project/internal/store/store.go")+" | head -n 100"` β†’ should now expect the command to end with the target and contain `--max-count=100`. - `TestGrepSearchGlobStillUsesInclude`: same, `shellQuote("/project")+" | head -n 100"` β†’ now `--max-count=100` and ends with the target. - I should add a test that verifies `--max-count` is used (e.g. that the command contains `--max-count=100` and does NOT contain `head`). Where in the arg list should `--max-count` go? Convention: options before the pattern. Let me put it with the other options, e.g. after the context options, before `-e pattern target`. Actually, let me think about the final command shape: `grep -Rn -I -H -E -i -B 2 -A 3 --max-count=100 --include='*.go' -e 'pattern' '/project'` Hmm, ordering: I'd like to keep the structure readable. Current: ```go args := []string{"grep", "-Rn", "-I", "-H", "-E"} if !params.CaseSensitive { args = append(args, "-i") } if params.ContextBefore > 0 { args = append(args, "-B", ...) } if params.ContextAfter > 0 { args = append(args, "-A", ...) } // target/include logic args = append(args, "-e", shellQuote(params.Pattern), shellQuote(target)) cmd := strings.Join(args, " ") + fmt.Sprintf(" | head -n %d", maxResults) ``` New: ```go args := []string{"grep", "-Rn", "-I", "-H", "-E"} if !params.CaseSensitive { args = append(args, "-i") } if params.ContextBefore > 0 { args = append(args, "-B", strconv.Itoa(params.ContextBefore)) } if params.ContextAfter > 0 { args = append(args, "-A", strconv.Itoa(params.ContextAfter)) } // --max-count caps the number of matching lines (not raw output // lines, which a `head` pipe would truncate: with -A/-B context a // single match spans several lines, so head could drop matches). // The cap is per file, which is how grep counts. args = append(args, "--max-count="+strconv.Itoa(maxResults)) ... args = append(args, "-e", shellQuote(params.Pattern), shellQuote(target)) cmd := strings.Join(args, " ") ``` And remove the `fmt` import if it's no longer used... let me check: `fmt` is used in `fmt.Errorf` in the error handling. Yes, still used. `strconv` is already imported. Good. 4. **Description update**: `tool.AddIntegerProperty("max_results", "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)", false)` β†’ `tool.AddIntegerProperty("max_results", "Maximum number of matching lines to return per file (default: 100)", false)` Hmm wait, should I mention per-file? It's an honest description of grep's semantics. Yes. Actually, let me reconsider whether to keep "0 means no limit" as the behavior. The issue title is "grep max_results" and the body is about the mechanism. The description's "0 means no limit" is a pre-existing inconsistency. Changing the description to remove that claim is the safe direction (no behavior change). Making 0 actually mean no limit would be a behavior change beyond the issue's scope... though it would make the tool match its documented contract. Hmm. Let me think about which the owner would prefer. The owner wrote the issue; they know the codebase. They only complained about head vs max-count. Leon said "straightforward fix β€” replacing the head -n approach with grep's native --max-count option". So the expected change is exactly that. I'll keep the 0β†’100 behavior and just fix the description to be accurate. I'll mention the 0-semantics note in the PR/issue comment so the owner can decide if they want 0 to mean no limit. Hmm, actually, wait. Let me reconsider: is it worth mentioning? Yes, briefly, in the comment. Good. 5. **Check the README** for any mention of head or max_results. Let me grep the README. Also, let me check if there are other places that build grep commands (e.g. in agentrun or elsewhere). The earlier grep for "head -n" only found grep_search.go and the tests. Good. Let me also check the README for the tool documentation.
Now let me check the README and any other docs that mention this tool's behavior:

OK β€” the only places that need to be changed are `internal/tools/grep_search.go` and `internal/tools/tools_test.go`. Now, let me check the current git status and confirm that the branch is `issue-68-greg`. After that, I'll implement the following: 1. In `grep_search.go`: - Add `--max-count=N` to the arguments. - Remove the `| head -n` pipe. - Update the stale comment about the pipeline's exit status. - Fix the description text: "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)" β†’ make it accurate. Let me try writing the new version of the relevant section: ```go func grepSearch(ctx Context, params grepSearchParams) (string, error) { maxResults := params.MaxResults if maxResults == 0 { maxResults = 100 } // -E makes grep interpret the pattern as an extended regular // expression (ERE), which is the "real" regex flavor the tool // promises: |, +, ?, (), {} all work as metacharacters. Without // it, grep falls back to BRE, where those are treated literally. // -H keeps the filename in the output even when the search target // is a single file, so results look the same as directory searches. args := []string{"grep", "-Rn", "-I", "-H", "-E"} if !params.CaseSensitive { args = append(args, "-i") } if params.ContextBefore > 0 { args = append(args, "-B", strconv.Itoa(params.ContextBefore)) } if params.ContextAfter > 0 { args = append(args, "-A", strconv.Itoa(params.ContextAfter)) } // --max-count caps the number of matching lines, which is what // max_results promises. A `head -n` pipe would instead cap raw // output lines, and with -A/-B context a single match spans // several lines, so matches would be silently dropped. Note the // cap is per file: that is how grep counts. args = append(args, "--max-count="+strconv.Itoa(maxResults)) // By default the search target is the whole project. grep's // --include matches basenames against a glob, so a literal file // path (no wildcards) passed as the glob would never match; // treat such values as a path and search that file directly. target := "/project" if params.Glob != "" { if isGlobPattern(params.Glob) { args = append(args, "--include="+shellQuote(params.Glob)) } else { target = resolvePath(params.Glob) } } args = append(args, "-e", shellQuote(params.Pattern), shellQuote(target)) output, stderr, err := ctx.Exec(context.Background(), strings.Join(args, " ")) if err != nil { // grep exits non-zero (with empty output) when there are no // matches; that's a normal result, not a tool failure. if strings.TrimSpace(output) == "" && strings.TrimSpace(stderr) == "" { return "No matches found.", nil } return "", fmt.Errorf("grep_search: %w", execErr(err, output, stderr)) } if strings.TrimSpace(output) == "" { // Defensive: grep exits 0 only after printing a match, so an // empty result here is unexpected; surface any diagnostic // rather than pretending the search succeeded. if msg := strings.TrimSpace(stderr); msg != "" { return "", fmt.Errorf("grep_search: %s", msg) } return "No matches found.", nil } return output, nil } ``` Wait β€” the `fmt` import: it's still used in `fmt.Errorf`. `strconv` is also still used. OK. One question: should I put `--max-count` before or after `--include`? The order of options doesn't matter to grep. I'll put it after the context options, with a comment. No, actually, let me think about the test assertions: - `TestGrepSearchUsesExtendedRegex`: checks that `fc.lastCmd` contains "grep -Rn -I -H -E". My change preserves that prefix. Good. - `TestGrepSearchLiteralPathSearchesFileDirectly`: currently checks `strings.HasSuffix(fc.lastCmd, shellQuote("/project/internal/store/store.go")+" | head -n 100")`. The new command ends with the quoted target (no pipe). So I'll change it to check `strings.HasSuffix(fc.lastCmd, shellQuote("/project/internal/store/store.go"))` and `strings.Contains(fc.lastCmd, "--max-count=100")`. - `TestGrepSearchGlobStillUsesInclude`: same. Also, I should add a dedicated test for the max-count behavior: e.g. `TestGrepSearchLimitsMatchesNotLines` β€” verifying that the command contains `--max-count=100` and does not contain `head`. And probably a test for a custom max_results value, e.g. `MaxResults: 5` β†’ `--max-count=5`. Now, about the description text. Currently: "Maximum number of matching lines to return (default: 100, 0 means no limit)". The code maps 0 β†’ 100, so "0 means no limit" is false. And with --max-count, the cap is per file. New description: "Maximum number of matching lines to return per file (default: 100)". Hmm, wait, should I keep the "0 means no limit" behavior instead? Let me think again… The tool parameter is optional (required=false). When the LLM omits it, JSON decoding gives 0. So 0 is the "unset" sentinel. The code's 0β†’100 is the only sane interpretation without using a pointer. The description's "0 means no limit" was wishful thinking / a bug. Fixing the description to match the code is the right, minimal move. I'll note it in the issue comment. Actually, hmm, let me reconsider whether to mention "per file" in the description. It's accurate, and it's important for the LLM to understand the semantics (so it doesn't expect a global cap). Yes, I'll include it. Now, one more consideration: with `--max-count` and context lines, when grep stops after NUM matching lines in a file, it still outputs trailing context lines. That's fine. Also, a subtle point: `--max-count` with `-R`: grep applies the count per file. Good. Now, let me also double-check `resolvePath` and `shellQuote` to make sure nothing else needs to change. Let me read shell.go in its entirety.
The scope is clear: `internal/tools/grep_search.go` and its tests. Let me check the current branch state and the `shell.go` helpers:

Alright, let's implement the fix in `grep_search.go`: 1. Replace the `| head -n %d` pipe with `--max-count=N` in grep's arguments. 2. Update the stale comments (the comment about the pipeline's exit status). 3. Fix the inaccurate description ("0 means no limit" is false β€” 0 is the sentinel for "unset" and maps to the default of 100. Also, the cap is per-file). Now let's make the edits.
I've confirmed the problem: `grep ... | head -n N` truncates the raw output *lines*, so when `-A`/`-B` context is used, a single match spans multiple lines, and `head` silently discards matches. The fix is to use grep's native `--max-count`, which limits the number of *matching* lines. Now I'll make the changes:

Check the final state of grep_search.go, and verify that the imports are still valid (fmt is still being used in fmt.Errorf, and strconv is also still being used).

The implementation looks good. Next, I'll update the tests: 1. `TestGrepSearchLiteralPathSearchesFileDirectly` (around lines 176-177): change the suffix check from `shellQuote("/project/internal/store/store.go")+" | head -n 100"` to just the quoted path, and add a `--max-count=100` check. 2. `TestGrepSearchGlobStillUsesInclude` (around lines 199-200): same thing. 3. Add a dedicated test that verifies `--max-count` is used (and that `head` is not used), including a custom max_results value. Alright, let's edit the tests.
The implementation is in place. Now update the two tests that assert the old `| head -n 100` suffix, and add a dedicated test for the `--max-count` behavior:

All grep tests passed. Next, to make sure nothing else is broken, I'll run the entire test suite (at least the packages that don't require docker).
All targeted tests pass. Let me run the full test suite to make sure nothing else broke:

All tests pass. Next, let's do a quick sanity check on the actual behavior of the generated command β€” I'll simulate what the command looks like and verify that `--max-count` behaves as expected in actual grep. Let me test with a real grep inside the container: Create a file with many matches and context lines, and verify that `--max-count` limits the number of matches (not the number of lines).
All green. Let me do a quick real-world sanity check that the generated command actually behaves correctly with context lines (the exact scenario that broke with `head`):

Confirmed: - Old behavior: `head -n 10` returns 10 raw lines β†’ only 3 matches are shown (match1, match2, match3), and match4 is partially truncated (only the match line, with context cut off). In other words, "max_results=10" actually returned 3 matches. - New behavior: `--max-count=2` returns exactly 2 matches with full context. The fix is working as intended. Next, I'll commit and push, then open a PR. Let me check the final diff first.
Confirmed β€” with the old `head -n 10` approach, only 3 matches were returned (and the 4th was truncated mid-context), but with `--max-count`, we get exactly the requested number of matches with complete context. Let's review the final diff, then commit and push:

The diff looks clean and surgical. One thing to double-check: the `fmt` import in grep_search.go β€” it's still used in `fmt.Errorf`. Yep, it's used in two places. `strconv` is also still used. Good. Alright, let's commit and push.

Everything is done: 1. βœ… Investigated the issue: `grep_search` was using `| head -n %d`, which limits the number of lines rather than the number of matches. 2. βœ… Fixed by using grep's native `--max-count=N` as proposed in the issue. 3. βœ… Fixed the inaccurate description ("0 means unlimited" was wrong; added "per file"). 4. βœ… Updated the old comments. 5. βœ… Updated existing tests and added 2 new tests. 6. βœ… Verified: build, vet, full test suite pass; manual sanity check against real grep confirmed the behavioral difference. 7. βœ… Committed and pushed to `issue-68-greg`. 8. βœ… Opened a PR against main. 9. βœ… Left a comment on the issue summarizing the work. Done. Final summary for the user.
Done. Summary of the work on issue #68: **The bug:** `grep_search` implemented `max_results` as a `| head -n N` pipe, which caps raw output *lines* rather than *matching lines*. With context lines (`-A`/`-B`), one match spans several lines, so matches were silently dropped β€” I verified against real grep that `head -n 10` with `-A 2` returned only 3 full matches instead of the requested number. **The fix** (`internal/tools/grep_search.go`): - Replaced the `head` pipe with grep's native `--max-count=N`, exactly as the issue suggested β€” it stops a file after N *matching* lines, still emitting their trailing context. - Corrected the `max_results` description: it claimed "0 means no limit", but 0 is the unset sentinel mapping to the default 100 (and 0 to `--max-count` would make grep stop immediately without reading input). It now reads "per file (default: 100)" β€” per file being grep's actual counting semantics. - Updated the stale comment about the pipeline's exit status being `head`'s; without the pipe, grep failures (bad regex, etc.) surface directly as non-zero exits with stderr. **Tests** (`internal/tools/tools_test.go`): updated the two tests asserting the old `| head -n 100` suffix, and added `TestGrepSearchLimitsMatchesNotLines` (custom value β†’ `--max-count=5`, no `head`) and `TestGrepSearchDefaultMaxResults` (omitted β†’ `--max-count=100`). **Verification:** `go build ./...`, `go vet`, and the full `go test ./...` suite pass; a manual real-grep check confirmed the new behavior returns exactly the requested number of matches with full context. Committed to `issue-68-greg`, pushed, PR opened against `main`, and the issue is commented with the summary plus a note that `--max-count` is inherently per-file (a strict global cap would need Go-side post-processing, offered as a possible follow-up).
