WebService exposed an observation surface nothing in production observes:
the web/providers-change event (declared, emitted on every provider
registration/disposal, rollback-yield ordered before the emit solely so a
throwing change listener unwinds the registration) and the aggregated
searchStatus()/fetchStatus() query with its WebCapabilityStatus union.
dsh-tool-web executes through ctx.web.search()/fetch() and routes on the
structured WebError codes selection throws at execution time; tool
registration follows product enablement, not provider availability. The
only listeners/callers were the web packages' own tests, and the
tool-web README / architecture.md prose claiming the tool 'reads only the
aggregated searchStatus()/fetchStatus()' had drifted from the call sites.
Remove the event declaration, both emits, and the rollback-before-emit
machinery (the plain ctx.effect disposer keeps HMR cleanup, matching
LlmService.registerAdapter). Remove searchStatus()/fetchStatus(),
resolveStatus(), and WebCapabilityStatus; the provider-private status()
stays as the execution-time selection input. Delete the listener-throw
rollback test, and rewrite every event/status assertion across the web
packages' tests onto caller-observable behavior: a successful
search()/fetch() or the structured WEB_PROVIDER_* codes. Regenerate the
cordis catalog; update the web/tool-web READMEs, the architecture.md web
paragraph, core-data-structures/web.md, and the type-equiv manifest; amend
the web capability seam RFC's facts to the shipped surface. This follows
the llm/adapter-change precedent: a boot-time backend-registry signal and
an availability probe distinct from executing both sit on the cut side of
its keep/cut criterion.

master's web_search/web_fetch tools were authored against the old
ToolCallPresentation bag; the render-intent union replaces it with a
card-tagged discriminated union. Both are simple generic cards, so they
declare card:'generic' explicitly.
- search providers (exa/perplexity/deepseek): map the parsed response
INSIDE the parse try, so a well-formed body of the wrong shape surfaces
as WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR instead of escaping as a raw TypeError; a WebError
the mapper throws on purpose is re-thrown untouched
- web-fetch-local: validate numeric limits at plugin construction (positive
finite caps; non-negative integer maxRedirects) rather than constructing a
provider with nonsensical values
- web-fetch-local: enforce the redirect budget BEFORE resolving each hop, so
maxRedirects:N follows exactly N redirects and an over-limit hop reports
"exceeded the maximum" rather than misdiagnosing a cross-origin block
- drop the stale dsh-tool-web/search and /fetch path aliases (the package no
longer declares those subpath exports)
- strip trailing EOF blank lines flagged by git diff --check
Each fix carries a regression test.
Introduce web access as a first-class capability seam so the model-facing
web tools stay stable while backends change. dsh-web owns ctx.web as a
provider registry with registration-order-independent selection and the
WebError taxonomy; dsh-web-search-exa, dsh-web-search-perplexity, and
dsh-web-fetch-local register capabilities into it; dsh-tool-web is the sole
owner of the model-facing web_search/web_fetch schemas, prompt sections, and
HTML-to-markdown presentation. Search and fetch are deliberately one seam.
Providers ship as namespace plugins that register into ctx.web (like an
LlmAdapter into ctx.llm), not key-owning services, since multiple search
providers cannot each own the key. Tool registration follows product
enablement, not backend availability, so load order/credentials never enter
the model contract; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and
surfaces a structured WebError otherwise.
Moves the RFC to implemented/ amended to match what shipped. Example/app
configs are intentionally not wired yet (RFC migration step 6).
