Read files, directories, archives, SQLite, images, documents, internal resources, and web URLs via `path`.

<instruction>
- SHOULD parallelize independent reads.
- SHOULD use `read` (not browser) for web content; browser only when `read` can't deliver.
</instruction>

## Selectors — append `:<sel>` to `path` (e.g. `src/foo.ts:50-200`, `src/foo.ts:raw`, `db.sqlite:users:42`)
- `:50` / `:50-` — from line 50 | `:50-200` — inclusive | `:50+150` — 150 lines from 50 | `:5-16,960-973` — multiple ranges
- `:raw` — verbatim, no anchors/prefixes | `:2-4:raw` / `:raw:2-4` — range + verbatim
- `:conflicts` — one line per unresolved git merge conflict block

## Source kinds
- Parseable code, no selector → structural summary (declarations only, body elided). Footer names recovery selector — re-issue ONLY those ranges.
- {{#if IS_HL_MODE}}File + selector → `[foo.ts#1A2B]` snapshot header + numbered lines. Copy `[FILENAME#TAG]` for anchored edits; NEVER fabricate the tag.{{/if}}
- Directory → depth-limited dirent listing.
- SQLite (`.sqlite`, `.sqlite3`, `.db`, `.db3`): `file.db` (tables), `file.db:table` (schema+rows), `file.db:table:key` (by PK), `?limit=`/`?where=`/`?q=SELECT`.
- Archives (`.tar`, `.tar.gz`, `.tgz`, `.zip`): `archive.ext:path/inside/archive` reads a member.
- Documents → extracted text. Notebooks → editable cells. Images → {{#if INSPECT_IMAGE_ENABLED}}metadata; call `inspect_image`{{else}}decoded inline{{/if}}. `:raw` bypasses converters.
- URLs → reader-mode clean text/markdown; `:raw` → untouched HTML. Bare `host:port` needs trailing slash.
- Internal URIs — all schemes take selectors. `artifact://<id>` recovers spilled output; page with `:N-M`/`:raw:N-M`.
- `ssh://host/<path>` reads remote file/dir (UTF-8, ≤1 MiB); bare `ssh://` lists hosts; also `write`/`search`-able.
  Literal `:`, `?`, `#` → percent-encode (`%3A`/`%3F`/`%23`). Requires POSIX shell (else `ssh` tool).

<critical>
Summary footer names elided ranges? Re-issue ONLY those ranges. NEVER guess `..`/`…` content.
