<summary>
Implemented the core `grep_content` tool and a dependency check for `ripgrep` on server startup.
</summary>

<deliverables>
- **`src/fs_mcp/utils.py`**: New file containing `check_ripgrep()` function to detect `ripgrep` and provide platform-specific installation instructions.
- **`src/fs_mcp/server.py`**: Modified to call `check_ripgrep()` on startup and log a warning if the dependency is missing.
- **`src/fs_mcp/tools.py`**: Implemented the `grep_content` tool which uses `ripgrep` as a subprocess to perform content searches. The tool handles bounded results, timeouts, and graceful degradation if `ripgrep` is not available.
- **`tests/test_tools.py`**: Added unit tests for the new `grep_content` tool.
</deliverables>

<decisions>
- The executor agent failed to handle the final checkpoint correctly, but the implementation was completed successfully as verified by the git log and manual testing. A summary was created manually to reflect the completed work.
