Web Search Provider ABC
=======================

Defines the pluggable-backend interface for web search and content extraction.
Providers register instances via ``PluginContext.register_web_search_provider()``;
the active one (selected via ``web.search_backend`` / ``web.extract_backend`` /
``web.backend`` in ``config.yaml``) services every ``web_search`` /
``web_extract`` tool call.

Providers live in ``<repo>/plugins/web/<name>/`` (built-in, auto-loaded as
``kind: backend``) or ``~/.hermes/plugins/web/<name>/`` (user, opt-in via
``plugins.enabled``).

This ABC is the SINGLE plugin-facing surface for web providers — every
provider in the tree (brave-free, ddgs, searxng, exa, parallel, tavily,
firecrawl) implements it. The legacy in-tree ``tools.web_providers.base``
ABCs were deleted in PR #25182 along with the per-vendor inline helpers
in ``tools/web_tools.py``; the response-shape contract documented below
is preserved bit-for-bit so the tool wrapper does not have to translate.

Response shape (preserved from the legacy contract):

Search results::

    {
        "success": True,
        "data": {
            "web": [
                {"title": str, "url": str, "description": str, "position": int},
                ...
            ]
        }
    }

Extract results::

    {
        "success": True,
        "data": [
            {"url": str, "title": str, "content": str,
             "raw_content": str, "metadata": dict},
            ...
        ]
    }

On failure (either capability)::

    {"success": False, "error": str}
