## When to use
- User asks "where is X used/defined" or "find occurrences of pattern".
## Procedure
1) Translate the question into a concise regex pattern.
2) Call `file_search`:
- `pattern`: the regex
- optional `extensions`: narrow to `.cs,.md,.proto` etc
3) Return results as a short list: file + line + snippet.
4) If truncated, narrow the search (extensions / more specific pattern) and repeat.
