### Gap 1: Missing Streaming File Reading (v1.6.1.4)

#### Problem in Current v1.9.3
```python
# Current file_handler.py line 130
def read_file_partial(...):
    try:
        # Read whole file safely
        content, detected_encoding = read_file_safe(file_path)
        
        # Split to lines
        lines = content.splitlines(keepends=True)
```

**Issue**: Loads entire file into memory, causing:
- 30+ second delays for large files (>100MB)
- High memory consumption
- Poor user experience for `extract_code_section` tool

#### Solution in v1.6.1.4
```python
# v1.6.1.4 file_handler.py
def read_file_partial(...):
    try:
        # Use streaming approach for memory efficiency
        with read_file_safe_streaming(file_path) as f:
            # Convert to 0-based indexing
            start_idx = start_line - 1
            end_idx = end_line - 1 if end_line is not None else None

            # Use itertools.islice for efficient line selection
            if end_idx is not None:
                selected_lines_iter = itertools.islice(f, start_idx, end_idx + 1)
            else:
                selected_lines_iter = itertools.islice(f, start_idx, None)

            # Convert iterator to list for processing
            selected_lines = list(selected_lines_iter)
```

**Benefits**:
- **150x faster**: 30 seconds → <200ms for large files
- **Memory efficient**: Only reads requested lines
- **100% backward compatible**: Same function signature
- Uses `itertools.islice()` for efficient line selection

#### Missing Component: `read_file_safe_streaming()` in encoding_utils.py

```python
def read_file_safe_streaming(file_path: str | Path):
    """
    Context manager for streaming file reading with automatic encoding detection.
    
    Opens a file with the correct encoding detected from the file's
    content and yields a file handle for line-by-line reading.
    Memory-efficient for large files.
    
    Example:
        with read_file_safe_streaming("large_file.txt") as f:
            for line_num, line in enumerate(f, 1):
                if line_num >= start_line:
                    process(line)
    """
    file_path = Path(file_path)

    # First, detect encoding by reading a small sample
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        sample_data = f.read(8192)  # Read first 8KB

    detected_encoding = EncodingManager.detect_encoding(sample_data, str(file_path))

    # Open file with detected encoding for streaming
    @contextlib.contextmanager
    def _file_context():
        with open(file_path, "r", encoding=detected_encoding, errors="replace") as f:
            yield f

    return _file_context()
```

### Gap 2: Missing OutputFormatValidator (v1.6.1.3)

#### Problem in Current v1.9.3
The `search_content` tool in v1.9.3 accepts multiple output format parameters but does NOT validate mutual exclusivity:
- `total_only`
- `count_only_matches`
- `summary_only`
- `group_by_file`
- `suppress_output`

**Current Behavior**: No validation → LLM can specify conflicting parameters → confusing results

**Additionally**: The tool description lacks detailed LLM guidance on token efficiency and recommended workflow, making it harder for LLMs to choose the optimal output format.

#### Solution in v1.6.1.3: OutputFormatValidator + Enhanced Tool Descriptions

**Key Features**:
1. **Mutual Exclusivity Validation**: Detects conflicting parameters
2. **Multilingual Error Messages**: English & Japanese support
3. **LLM Guidance**: Token efficiency information
4. **Locale Detection**: Auto-detects user's preferred language

**Implementation Structure**:
```python
class OutputFormatValidator:
    """
    Validates mutually exclusive output format parameters for LLM guidance.
    Provides multilingual error messages and token efficiency guidance.
    """
    
    # Mutually exclusive parameters
    OUTPUT_FORMAT_PARAMS = {
        "total_only",
        "count_only_matches", 
        "summary_only",
        "group_by_file",
        "suppress_output"
    }
    
    # Token efficiency guidance for LLMs
    FORMAT_EFFICIENCY_GUIDE = {
        "total_only": "~10 tokens (most efficient for count queries)",
        "count_only_matches": "~50-200 tokens (file distribution analysis)",
        "summary_only": "~100-500 tokens (quick overview of matches)",
        "group_by_file": "~200-1000 tokens (detailed but organized)",
        "default": "~500-5000+ tokens (full detail, use sparingly)"
    }
    
    def _detect_language(self) -> str:
        """Detect preferred language from environment."""
        lang = os.environ.get('LANG', '')
        if lang.startswith('ja'):
            return 'ja'
        
        try:
            import locale
            current_locale = locale.getdefaultlocale()[0] or ''
            if current_locale.startswith('ja'):
                return 'ja'
        except Exception:
            pass
        
        return 'en'
    
    def _get_error_message(self, conflicting_params: list[str]) -> str:
        """Get localized error message."""
        lang = self._detect_language()
        
        if lang == 'ja':
            return f"""出力フォーマットエラー: 相互排他的なパラメータが同時に指定されています: {', '.join(conflicting_params)}

        """
        # Check for conflicting parameters
        active_formats = [
            param for param in self.OUTPUT_FORMAT_PARAMS
            if arguments.get(param, False)
        ]
        
        if len(active_formats) > 1:
            return False, self._get_error_message(active_formats)

            return True, f"Using {format_type} format: {guidance}"
        
        return True, None
```

**Integration Point**: `search_content_tool.py`'s `validate_arguments()` method should call this validator.

#### Enhanced Tool Descriptions

v1.6.1.3 also included significantly improved tool descriptions with:

1. **Token Efficiency Guide** in main description:
   - Recommended 4-stage workflow (total_only → count_only_matches → summary_only → full results)
   - Token range estimates for each format (~10 to ~50000+ tokens)
   - Clear guidance on when to use each format

2. **Parameter-level Guidance** with ⚡ EXCLUSIVE markers:
   - Each output format parameter explicitly marked as mutually exclusive
   - RECOMMENDED use cases for each format
   - Token efficiency information inline

3. **Best Practices Documentation**:
   - New file: `.roo/rules/search-best-practices.md` (250 lines)
   - Detailed workflow examples with JSON
   - Token efficiency comparison table
   - Real-world usage scenarios

**Example Enhanced Description**:
```
⚡ IMPORTANT: Token Efficiency Guide
Choose output format parameters based on your needs to minimize token usage:

📋 RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW (Most Efficient Approach):
1. START with total_only=true (~10 tokens)
2. IF more detail needed, use count_only_matches=true (~50-200 tokens)
3. IF context needed, use summary_only=true (~500-2000 tokens)
4. ONLY use full results when specific review required (~2000-50000+ tokens)

⚠️ MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE: Only one output format parameter can be true at a time.
```

**Benefits**:
- LLMs can make informed decisions about output format selection
- Reduces unnecessary token usage by guiding to most efficient format first
- Clear communication of parameter conflicts prevents errors
- Improved user experience with predictable behavior
