pi-codex-web-search

Alpha bootstrap candidate; initial npm publication is still pending.

Peer floor: Pi 0.87.0; development target: 0.87.1.

Installs web_search and search activity rendering. Depends only on pi-codex-runtime, not core, imagegen or the old bundle. Catalog-supported standalone profiles call alpha/search using Pi's model registry authentication. Hosted profiles require core; without it the tool stays inactive and explicit execution reports the missing provider capability.

Optional Code Mode discovery offers codex_web__web_search on standalone profiles only, reusing the same authentication/client and capturing turn identity and history before auth I/O. It requires an exact Code Mode grant and adds no Code Mode dependency. Hosted placeholders remain direct; no direct tool is hidden.

When core is present, the broker contributes response-local search capture and citation signatures without a second provider registration. Uses the existing <agentDir>/extensions/pi-codex-minimal-tools/{config,models}.json settings. Unknown models are not enabled by inference.

The reserved endpoint is an unsupported compatibility surface, not a promise of account access. ./internal/* is implementation wiring. See the package guide. From repository root:
