What hive.terminal-tools-fs-search does
terminal-tools provides two structured search tools: `terminal_rg` (ripgrep for content) and `terminal_glob` (find files by name/glob). Predicate queries (mtime/size/type) and everything else (tree, stat, du) are just `terminal_exec`.

Frequently asked questions
- What does hive.terminal-tools-fs-search do?
- Use terminal_rg / terminal_glob for all filesystem search — your project tree as well as system configs, /var/log, /etc, archive contents. Teaches the rg vs glob vs terminal_exec("find/ls/du/tree") split, common rg flag combos for code/logs/configs, glob patterns for finding files by name, the rule that mtime/size/type predicate queries drop to terminal_exec("find ..."), and that for tree views or single-file stat info you should just use terminal_exec instead of inventing a tool. Read before reaching for raw shell to grep or find anything.
