read_lines

Read an exact line range from a raw doc file by absolute line number — the windowed-read companion to `grep_docs`. When `grep_docs` returns a hit at `path:line` inside a large file, call `read_lines({ path, start, end })` to pull the surrounding block. This is the ONLY way to read around a hit in the largest rdr3_discoveries data tables (audio_banks, ingameanims_list, ptfx, soundsets, imaps_with_coords, megadictanims, etc.): their full bodies are NOT in the vector/heading index (only an ~80-line preview is), so `semantic_search` can't reach them and `get_document` resolves real section headings only — NOT synthetic `lines N-M` offsets. `start`/`end` are 1-based and inclusive; omit `end` for a 50-line window; one call returns at most 400 lines (narrow the range for more). For prose `.md` docs prefer `get_document` with a `heading`; to search values use `grep_docs`; for individual script natives use `lookup_native`.
