"""PreToolUse hook that blocks recursive ``grep``.
Recursive grep (``grep -r``/``-R``/``--recursive``/``-d recurse``/``rgrep`` ...)
walks an entire directory tree into memory and can OOM-kill the agent process on
large repos. The system prompt only *asks* the model to avoid it; this hook
turns that into a hard, deterministic block.
Protocol: read the PreToolUse envelope as JSON on stdin and signal the decision
to the runner:
recursive grep -> deny: exit 2 + a deny JSON on stdout (+ reason on stderr)
anything else -> allow: exit 0, nothing on stdout
Any unexpected condition falls through to "allow" (fail-open), matching the
runner's contract -- only an explicit deny blocks the tool call.
Detection is a pure function (``command_is_recursive``) with no I/O, so it is
trivially unit-testable -- run ``no-recursive-grep-guard.py --self-test``.
Parsing is a single quote-aware lexer (``lex``) shared by every stage:
* a quoted span is one operand and is never read as a flag
(``grep "rm -rf" log`` and ``grep "-r" file`` are not recursive);
* shell ``#`` line-comments are dropped;
* live command substitutions ``$(...)`` / backticks (unquoted or inside
double quotes -- single quotes suppress them) are recursed into;
* pipeline/compound operators (``| & ; ( ) { }`` + newlines) split segments,
so a recursive flag must belong to grep, not e.g. ``ls -R | grep``;
* ``sh``/``bash -c "<script>"`` inner scripts are recursed into;
* transparent wrappers (``sudo``/``env``/``xargs``/...) are peeled, looking
past their own flags/args for grep.
