cheez-search

Hard dependency: If mcp__tilth__tilth_search is unavailable, stop immediately and report "tilth MCP server is not loaded — cannot proceed." Do NOT fall back to Grep, Glob, rg, or any host tool. Install via tilth install <host> (see README "Installing tilth MCP").

Capability detection

Before the first call, verify tilth is reachable:

1. Check that mcp__tilth__tilth_search is in your tool list. If absent, stop and report "tilth MCP server is not loaded — cannot proceed."
2. Make a minimal probe call: tilth_search(query: "tilth", scope: "."). If the response is a JSON-RPC error or transport failure, stop and report "tilth MCP server present but unhealthy: <error>".
3. Any other failure (zero matches, malformed regex, etc.) is a content issue — proceed normally and report the result.

AST-aware code search via tilth MCP (tilth_search, tilth_deps). Tree-sitter finds where symbols are defined — not just where strings appear. Understand dependencies instead of blindly grepping.
