 `WebFetchRequest.timeoutMs` is likewise never set by a production caller. `tool-web` supplies only the URL, uses the tool definition's timeout plus `exec.signal` for the caller deadline, and relies on the local provider's configured default as a backstop. The unused per-request override forces `web-fetch-local` to expose `maxTimeoutMs`, clamp two timeout sources, and document/test precedence no product path can select. `WebExecContext` is another one-field wrapper: every caller allocates `{ signal }` and every provider immediately unwraps `exec?.signal`; no second execution-control field exists.
 
-## Proposal
+## Decision
 
-Remove the search/fetch `providerId` result echoes and search `query` echo; callers already own the request and provider selection. Shrink provider status to availability alone, preferably a boolean-returning method if that produces the clearest seam. Remove per-request fetch timeout, `maxTimeoutMs`, and their clamp/validation branches while retaining the provider's configurable default timeout and tool-level deadline. Replace `WebExecContext` with a direct optional `AbortSignal` parameter.
+The web seam omits the search/fetch `providerId` result echoes and search `query` echo; callers already own the request and provider selection. Providers expose availability as a boolean-returning method. Fetch requests have no per-request timeout or `maxTimeoutMs` clamp; the local provider retains its configurable default timeout and the tool retains its own deadline. Provider methods receive a direct optional `AbortSignal` instead of a one-field `WebExecContext` wrapper.
 
-Update all web implementations, the model-facing tool, package READMEs/JSDoc, type-equivalence records, and tests. Keep the interface/implementation/consumer package split, provider selection, source citations, final-URL/status data, truncation reporting, and all safety limits.
+All web implementations and the model-facing tool use the smaller contract. The interface/implementation/consumer package split, provider selection, source citations, final-URL/status data, truncation reporting, and safety limits remain.
 
 ## Alternatives considered
 
 **Keep self-describing results, per-request deadlines, and an extensible execution-context object.** Result echoes can help generic telemetry, a request timeout can help trusted programmatic callers, and the wrapper leaves room for future controls. No such consumer/second field exists; carrying duplicate identity, a second deadline policy, and wrap/unwrap plumbing through every provider makes the current contract harder to implement and explain. If telemetry or per-call budget control arrives, it should define which deadline wins, where provider identity is observed, and whether multiple controls justify a context object.
 
-## Acceptance criteria
+## Consequences
 
-- Every retained web request/result/status field has a production reader or is required to execute the provider request.
+Every retained web request/result field is consumed by production code or required to execute the provider request. Tool-visible search/fetch output, provider fallback, abort behavior, the configured timeout backstop, truncation, and citations remain covered without a request-timeout precedence branch or execution-context wrapper.
-- Tool-visible search/fetch output, provider fallback, abort behavior, configured timeout backstop, truncation, and citations remain covered.
-- No `maxTimeoutMs`, request-timeout precedence branch, or one-field execution-context wrapper remains.
-- Typecheck, coverage, snapshots, doc-sync, module-graph verification, build, and hygiene pass.
-
-## Risks
 
 Pre-release programmatic callers lose result provenance echoes and per-request fetch deadlines. The provider still has a deployment-configurable timeout and respects cancellation, so the simplification removes configurability rather than a safety bound.

 Tool registration follows product **enablement**, not backend availability. A tool stays visible even when its selected provider is missing, misconfigured, ambiguous, or temporarily unavailable; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and execution fails with a structured `WebError` (e.g. `WEB_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE`, `WEB_PROVIDER_AMBIGUOUS`), which `ToolRegistry.execute()` turns into an error tool result the model can read and hooks/UI can route on. This keeps the model schema stable without making plugin load order, credential state, or HMR timing part of the model-facing contract. To remove a web tool entirely, disable it here in config.
 
-The tool never calls a provider's `status()` and never enumerates providers — its only execution path is `ctx.web.search()` / `ctx.web.fetch()`, and provider unavailability reaches it as the structured `WebError` codes selection throws at execution time. Provider selection stays entirely inside the seam, with one owner.
