Documents the changes from rtk-ai#791: - grep now passes through raw output for <=50 matches (standard file:line:content) - grep uses grouped format only for >50 matches where token savings are meaningful - --no-ignore-vcs flag added to match grep -r behavior for .gitignore'd files - savings range updated to 0-90% to reflect passthrough for small result sets
