Use the glob tool — not shell find — to discover files by path pattern. A pattern with no "/" matches basenames at any depth, so "*" matches every file in the tree rather than its top level. Results are files only, never directories, and include hidden and ignored files: a result that fits comes back in modification-time order, while a larger one is sampled across top-level entries, so it spans the tree instead of one subtree.
Use the grep tool — not shell grep or rg — to search file contents. Use read on a matched file when you need surrounding context.
Check the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.
