Bug Description

ripgrep can fail with a buffer overflow and return 0 results when results in fact exist:

 [{"error":"RangeError [ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER]: stdout maxBuffer length exceeded\n    at Socket.onChildStdout (node:child_process:484:14)\n    at Socket.emit

  /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/ripgrep/arm64-darwin/rg --hidden -l <term here> ...

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ask claude code to search for a term w/ a lot of results
  2. claude code will return 0 results

Expected Behavior

I would expect an error rather than a false report of 0 matches.

Actual Behavior

It confidently returns 0 matches.

Additional Context

I can't include full error due to work context.
