Subject: [PATCH] fix: add web_backend handling to _reconfigure_provider for
 Tavily
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Same fix as the Parallel PR — _reconfigure_provider() was missing the
web_backend config save, so switching backends via Reconfigure didn't
persist web.backend to config.yaml.
