Improve repo grep UX across CLI and MCP - #31

Conversation
Replace the deprecated single-file grep flow with deterministic repo-wide grep backed by grepRepo so CLI and MCP share one contract. This aligns the public surfaces, updates docs and parity tests, and fixes validation, context rendering, and typecheck drift discovered during rollout.
Tighten repo grep terminal output with line deduping, merged context blocks, concise pagination hints, and clearer summary wording. Also rewrite missing-navpack failures into actionable CLI guidance and add a narrow-scope hint for noisy broad grep results.
Make grep context output closer to ripgrep by printing each file path once per block and emitting compact line-prefixed context rows. This keeps plain no-context output unchanged while making -C/-A/-B results much easier to scan.
Use compact heading-style output for terminal grep sessions while keeping file:line:text output for pipes and other non-TTY consumers. This makes the default interactive experience much closer to ripgrep without breaking machine-friendly output.
