/**
 * `web_search` — keyless-by-default web search tool for the Agent.
 *
 * Companion to `web_fetch` (see web-fetch.ts): where `web_fetch` retrieves a
 * *known* URL, `web_search` *discovers* URLs from a query — "search the web",
 * "find the official docs for X", "look up this error message".
 *
 * Design (mirrors web-fetch.ts):
 *   - Zero hard dependency beyond global `fetch` (Node 18+).
 *   - Pluggable backend: keyless **Bing** by default (reachable without a
 *     proxy in regions where DuckDuckGo is not, e.g. mainland China);
 *     keyless **DuckDuckGo** as fallback or by explicit `provider` choice;
 *     **Brave** when an API key is supplied; or a host-injected `search`
 *     function (e.g. a multi-engine backplane). Tool name + `query` input
 *     stay stable so consumers work regardless of backend.
 *   - Safe-by-default: per-call timeout, result cap, fixed provider host
 *     (the model's query is URL-encoded into a constant host — no SSRF surface).
 *   - Returns a compact, source-linked result list for the LLM to act on
 *     (typically followed by a `web_fetch` on the most relevant result).
 *   - **Reliability note**: Keyless backends (Bing, DuckDuckGo HTML/Lite) are
 *     increasingly blocked by anti-bot measures. For reliable search, configure
 *     an API key: **BOCHA_API_KEY** for mainland China, or **BRAVE_API_KEY**
 *     for international access. Without an API key, search may fail if the
 *     backend is blocked; set `fallback: false` in options to fail fast when
 *     the primary backend is unavailable.
 *
 * Intentionally **not**:
 *   - A crawler or browser — follow up with `web_fetch` to read a result.
 *   - A ranking engine — it returns the provider's order verbatim.
