fix: use PATH to find binaries in CLI mode

[denysvitali]

Context

Before this patch, Kilo Code in CLI mode would get stuck at "Thinking...".
Looking at the logs, the reason for the behavior was explained by this:

2025-12-02T22:05:18.358Z [ExtensionHost] ERROR: Unhandled promise rejection from extension {"error":{"message":"Could not find ripgrep binary","name":"Error","stack":"Error: Could not find ripgrep binary\n    at cro

It turns out that, before this fix, Kilo Code in CLI mode would attempt to find the ripgrep binary in its own bundle instead of relying on the system binaries.

Implementation

Warning

The code was completely generated by Claude Opus 4.5 - but it was tested and I can confirm that the fix works
