fix(file-ops): make rg/grep search error guard reachable and preserve partial matches (#39858)

The error guard in _search_with_rg/_search_with_grep was unreachable and,
if it had fired, would have discarded valid results.

Two root causes:

1. Unreachable. Both methods pipe the search through `| head` with no
   pipefail, so the pipeline reported head's exit code (0), masking rg/grep's
   error code (2). The guard never fired. Worse, because _exec merges stderr
   into stdout (stderr=subprocess.STDOUT), the error text was then parsed as
   bogus match lines instead of being surfaced — the user got garbage matches
   with no indication the search failed.

2. Latent results-dropping. The original `not result.stdout.strip()` check
   was always False on error (error text lives in stdout), and the
   `hasattr(result, 'stderr')` branch was dead code (ExecuteResult has no
   stderr field). A naive broadening to `exit_code == 2` would have nuked
   real matches whenever rg/grep also hit a non-fatal error (e.g. one
   unreadable file in a tree that otherwise matched), which both tools signal
   with exit 2.

Fix:
- Prefix the piped command with `set -o pipefail` so rg/grep's real exit
  status propagates. rg exits 0 on a truncating head; grep exits 141
  (SIGPIPE), so the strict `== 2` guard ignores truncated-success.
- Add _split_tool_diagnostics() to separate tool diagnostics from match
  output by tool prefix and output shape. Diagnostics never become matches;
  on a hard error they are the message to surface.
- Only surface an error when exit==2 AND no usable match payload remains, so
  partial errors keep their real matches.

Tests: tests/tools/test_search_error_guard.py drives both methods through the
real local backend (hard error surfaced, partial error keeps matches,
truncation no false error, files_only/count exclude diagnostics) plus unit
coverage for the splitter.

Supersedes #39710.

"""Regression tests for the rg/grep error guard in content search.
The guard in ``_search_with_rg`` / ``_search_with_grep`` had two defects on
``origin/main`` (see PR replacing #39710):
1. **Unreachable on a hard error.** Both methods pipe the search through
``| head`` with no ``pipefail``, so the pipeline reported head's exit code
(0), masking rg/grep's error code (2). The guard never fired, and the
error text merged into stdout by ``_exec`` (``stderr=subprocess.STDOUT``)
was parsed as bogus match lines instead of being surfaced.
2. **Would have nuked partial results if it ever did fire.** A broad
``exit_code == 2`` check discards real matches whenever rg/grep also hit a
non-fatal error (e.g. one unreadable file in a tree that otherwise
matched), which both tools signal with exit 2.
The fix adds ``set -o pipefail`` so the real exit code propagates, splits
tool diagnostics from match output by *shape*, and only surfaces an error
when exit==2 AND no usable match payload remains.
These tests drive the real methods through the real local terminal backend.

"""Separate rg/grep diagnostic lines from real match output.
``_exec`` runs commands with ``stderr=subprocess.STDOUT``, so error and

failure they are the error message to surface.
Returns ``(diagnostics, payload)`` where ``payload`` contains only lines
that look like real search output a match line (``file:line:content``),
a files-only path, a count line, or a context line/separator. Everything
else (tool-prefixed errors, rg's multi-line ``regex parse error`` block
with its indented carets, blank lines) is folded into ``diagnostics``.
Classifying by *shape* rather than by error prefix is what lets the
exit-2 guard distinguish a pure failure (no usable payload surface the
error) from a partial failure (some files matched, one was unreadable
keep the matches). It also means error text can never be mis-parsed as a
match, a latent bug that predates the exit-code fix.
