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.

web/ - web capability family
The web access capability seam: an abstract web interface, search/fetch provider implementations, and the model-facing web tools. All product packages.

The interface lives at web/web/. Unlike bash/fs, the seam spans two capabilities (search and fetch) with potentially multiple providers each: ctx.web is one web-access middle layer with one provider-selection policy, one abort/error vocabulary, and one product-facing "how this harness reaches the web" config surface. Providers register capabilities, not tools; tool-web is the only owner of model-facing names, schemas, prompt guidance, and presentation. A search provider swap does not change how the model asks for a query, and a fetch implementation swap does not change how the model asks for a URL.
See the web capability seam RFC for the design rationale, including why search and fetch are deliberately one seam and why web_fetch's SSRF protection is deferred.
