kshitijk4poor 657e6d87cc fix(web): align _LEGACY_PREFERENCE with legacy 7-provider order + doc cleanup
Self-review of the plugin migration surfaced one warning and a handful of
doc/dead-code cleanups. None affect production behaviour through the main
dispatcher (which always calls `tools.web_tools._get_backend()` first and
preserves the full 7-provider walk), but direct callers of
`agent.web_search_registry.get_active_*_provider()` previously diverged
from the legacy order and could return `None` for users with credentials
but no explicit `web.backend` config key.

Changes
-------
1. `_LEGACY_PREFERENCE` was shipped as a 4-tuple
   `("brave-free", "firecrawl", "searxng", "ddgs")` while the PR
   description and the legacy `_get_backend()` candidate order both
   call for the 7-tuple
   `(firecrawl, parallel, tavily, exa, searxng, brave-free, ddgs)`.
   Replaced with the 7-tuple. Verified empirically: with TAVILY+EXA keys
   and no config, `get_active_search_provider()` now returns tavily
   (was None); with EXA+PARALLEL it returns parallel (was None); with
   BRAVE+FIRECRAWL it returns firecrawl (was brave-free).

2. `agent/web_search_registry.py` — module docstring, `_resolve` step-3
   docstring, and inline comment all listed the old 4-tuple and claimed
   "brave-free first because it was the shipped default". The legacy
   default is `"firecrawl"`. Rewritten to match the new ordering and
   reference `tools.web_tools._get_backend()` as the source of truth.

3. `agent/web_search_registry.py` — `get_active_crawl_provider`
   docstring said "only Tavily implements it among built-in providers".
   Firecrawl also advertises `supports_crawl=True` after the previous
   commit. Updated to "Tavily and Firecrawl".

4. `plugins/web/tavily/provider.py` — module docstring said "Tavily is
   the only built-in backend that natively crawls". Updated.

5. `agent/web_search_provider.py` — ABC docstring mentioned only
   `search` / `extract` capabilities. Added `crawl` for accuracy.

6. `plugins/web/{firecrawl,parallel,exa}/provider.py` — dead plugin-level
   cache globals (`_firecrawl_client`, `_parallel_client`,
   `_async_parallel_client`, `_exa_client`) were declared but never read
   (all reads/writes go through `_wt.*` per the `extracting-inline-
   helpers-to-plugins` recipe). Removed the dead declarations; the
   reset-for-tests helpers in firecrawl + parallel now clear the
   canonical `_wt._<name>` slots, matching the pattern exa already used.

Tests
-----
218/218 web-targeted tests still pass (no test changes needed). 4910/4910
in `tests/tools/` still green.

"""Exa web search + content extraction — plugin form.
Subclasses :class:`agent.web_search_provider.WebSearchProvider`. Uses the
official Exa SDK (``exa-py``) which is lazy-loaded via
:func:`tools.lazy_deps.ensure` so that cold-start CLI users don't pay the
SDK import cost when Exa isn't configured.
Config keys this provider responds to::
web:
search_backend: "exa" # explicit per-capability
extract_backend: "exa" # explicit per-capability
backend: "exa" # shared fallback for both
Env var::
EXA_API_KEY=... # https://exa.ai (paid tier; free trial available)
The previous in-tree implementation lived at
``tools.web_tools._exa_search`` / ``_exa_extract``; this file is the
canonical replacement. Behavior is bit-for-bit identical aside from the
ABC method-name change.
