fix(pi-fff): resume fuzzy-fallback grep cursors in fuzzy mode

[gildrb]

Problem

When a grep call has zero literal matches, pi-fff runs a fuzzy fallback and, if that paginates, prints the fallback's engine cursor:

[0 exact matches. Maybe you meant this?]
...
[Continue with cursor="fff_c2"]

Resuming with that cursor replays it against the literal query (mode: "plain") — the one that matched nothing — and the fallback is skipped for cursor requests (!params.cursor), so the continuation always returns No matches found. The engine cursor is bound to the match stream that produced it; a fuzzy cursor can never page a literal query.

Fix

Tag stored cursors with the stream they came from ({ cursor, fuzzy }):

• fuzzy-fallback cursors resume with mode: "fuzzy" (and continue chaining page 2 → 3 → …),
• literal cursors resume exactly as before,
• multi_grep cursors stay literal (it has no fuzzy fallback).

Verification

Runtime contract harness against a scratch corpus (exact pagination unchanged; fuzzy fallback page 1 emits a cursor; resuming it returns fuzzy page 2, previously "No matches found"; true zero-hit still returns No matches found). Typecheck output is unchanged from clean main (the TS2307/TS7006 diagnostics predate this change).

Published in the meantime as a patch-carrying package at https://github.com/gildrb/pi-fff-patched (base v0.10.5) for anyone pinning this via a git: source.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved pagination for fuzzy searches so continuing results consistently preserves fuzzy matching.
  • Fixed cursor handling across combined searches to maintain accurate result progression.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Grep cursor records now retain fuzzy-search state. Continued fuzzy searches restore fuzzy mode. Multi-grep pagination uses the underlying engine cursor and stores non-fuzzy continuation state.

Changes

Grep pagination

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cursor state and fuzzy continuation packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts	Cursor records store the engine cursor and fuzzy flag. Continued searches restore fuzzy mode and preserve that state in new cursors.
Multi-grep cursor handling packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts	Multi-grep pagination uses the underlying engine cursor and stores continuation cursors as non-fuzzy.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3081d

Fuzzy-search continuation can skip or repeat results when the search is restricted to a file, because later pages may not use the same query that produced the cursor. This bounded pagination correctness issue should be addressed before merging.

storeCursor, and resumption so StoredCursor retains the query that generated the
cursor, then resume using that stored fuzzy query instead of the original
path-constrained query. Add a regression test verifying file-offset resumption
continues the same filtered result set without skipping or repeating entries.

how did you test this? I am wondering if model will ever choose a path of continuing fetching paginated results from the fuzzy fallback

if we currently printing the cursor notice maybe we should simply omit it if we did fuzzy fallback?
