fix(web): build agent search queries as IR

[brendan-kellam]

Fixes SOU-1960
Fixes SOU-1778

Summary

• build grep and glob searches as QueryIR instead of interpolating structured tool inputs into query-language strings
• preserve regex, literal path, exact repository scope, and branch semantics without re-lexing values containing spaces, commas, or quotes
• add focused query-builder regressions and tool-level coverage that verifies both tools use queryType: ir

Testing

• yarn workspace @sourcebot/web test --run
• yarn workspace @sourcebot/web lint

Walkthrough

Grep and glob tools now construct structured QueryIR searches. The change preserves spaces, punctuation, quotes, repository names, and branch references. Both tools execute IR queries and no longer include generated query strings in metadata.

Changes

Structured search query migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
QueryIR builder implementation packages/web/src/features/tools/searchQuery.ts, packages/web/src/features/tools/searchQuery.test.ts	Added grep and glob query builders for content, filename, path, glob, repository, and branch constraints. Tests cover structured inputs and special characters.
Grep and glob tool integration packages/web/src/features/tools/grep.ts, packages/web/src/features/tools/glob.ts, packages/web/src/features/tools/grep.test.ts, packages/web/src/features/tools/glob.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md	Updated both tools to execute IR queries and removed generated query metadata. Added execution tests and documented the parsing fix.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 927d1

The PR changes search query construction to preserve structured grep and glob semantics without re-lexing values; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains at the current head, so it is merge-ready after normal checks.
