Fast recursive text search (rg)
Installs the ripgrep package, which provides the rg binary at
/usr/bin/rg — a fast recursive grep that honours .gitignore by
default. Verifiable end to end: the binary lands at a fixed path,
rg --version reports a parseable version on stdout, and rg
returns the matching line (exit 0) for a present pattern and
exit 1 for an absent one.

Acceptance plan
Section titled “Acceptance plan”This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.
| Intent | Step |
|---|---|
check |
the rg binary is installed at /usr/bin/rg |
check |
rg reports a parseable ripgrep version on stdout |
check |
rg prints the matching line for a pattern present in piped input |
check |
rg exits 1 (no match) when the pattern is absent, never matching spuriously |
