Checklist

  • I have tested my changes locally
  • I have not included unrelated changes in this PR

The ripgrep npm package runs as WASM in-process, not as a CLI binary.
Tool descriptions and API docs incorrectly referenced `rg`/ripgrep as
if it were a system dependency. The grep and bash tool descriptions also
contradicted each other about whether to use rg via Bash.
The tools docs still described grep and glob as using ripgrep under
the hood, which no longer reflects the current implementation. Update
the English and localized tools pages to describe the .gitignore and
.ignore behavior without naming a specific backend.
The debug CLI exposes the ripgrep library directly, so referencing
ripgrep by name in these descriptions is still accurate.
