01 / THE WORK
What we admire
ripgrep proves the value of a small, dependable tool that does one job extremely well. Search gives both agents and people direct paths into source without a complex indexing service.
02 / THE LESSON
The principle that stayed
Use the simplest search that answers the question, then read the file and verify the claim. A matching line is context, not proof that a runtime path was exercised.
03 / OUR BOUNDARY
Where CodeVetter stands
Our integration decision permits opportunistic local search while keeping it optional. CodeVetter does not require ripgrep to be installed or confuse text matches with verified behavior.
