Summary

• Agent grep fetched /files/{id}/text for every listed file, so fonts, video, images, and archives each raised "could not read text" and turned an otherwise complete search into exit 1 "Search incomplete"
• Files are now checked against workspaceFileTextFormat (the same gate the agent's text read applies) before fetching; non-text files are skipped unread and reported as one Skipped N files with no searchable text … stderr line that does not fail the search
• PDF/DOCX/XLSX and plain-text sources still pass the gate and are searched
• Skipped files no longer consume the 300-file read budget; real read failures, the cap, degraded/truncated extraction, and secret-provenance withholding still report incomplete
• --in naming a non-text file returns "No matches" plus the skip note, not "Unknown --in selector"
• Project grep applies the same skip using the Project text read's gate

Type of Change

• Improvement

Testing

• New tests in universal-grep.test.ts (4) and project-file-grep.test.ts (1), all red before the fix, green after; 50/50 pass across both files
• bun run lint; type-check and audits left to CI

Checklist

• Code follows project style guidelines
• Self-reviewed my changes
• Tests added/updated and passing (new tests pass the test-audit authoring gate)
• No new warnings introduced
• I confirm that I have read and agree to the terms outlined in the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
