fix(prompt): recommend ast-grep, not the ambiguous sg alias
The Search section told the agent to run `sg -p 'def $NAME'`, but on Linux `sg` is shadow-utils newgrp, not ast-grep -- so the structural search silently invoked the wrong tool. `ast-grep` is the unambiguous binary name: it works where ast-grep is installed and fails loudly with "command not found" where it isn't, instead of misfiring into newgrp. repo_map's extract_symbols keeps calling `sg`: there it's a deliberate graceful-fallback path (newgrp exits non-zero, so it degrades to ctags), and switching to ast-grep would raise Errno::ENOENT on hosts without it, breaking prompt rendering.
