Web search for pi through an existing Chrome over CDP
Attaches to a browser that is already running — never launches one — using the same endpoint configuration as pi-browser-harness, so a single /browser-target choice governs both packages. One tool, castle_cdp_search, deliberately not named web_search so it coexists with pi-web-access rather than shadowing it. Notes from validating against castle's Chrome: - tbs=qdr:*, the parameter Google's own Tools menu writes, renders an empty page on this profile; the older as_qdr=* works. Any date filter combined with udm=14 is also empty, so recency drops udm. - Target.createTarget must not be raced against the abort signal: raceAbort abandons the promise but cannot cancel the command, and the command's side effect is a tab nothing is left holding. - A search cancelled while queued has to be removed from the semaphore queue, or the slot handed to it later is never counted back. - A decaying rate-limit block stops serving /sorry/ and returns an empty results page instead, indistinguishable from a genuine zero-hit search.

+ * pi's agent config directory, and the file pi-browser-harness stores its
+ * `/browser-target` choice in.
+ *
+ * This extension reads that file so a single `/browser-target` decision governs
+ * both packages. It never writes it — the harness owns that setting, and two
+ * writers of one file is a bug waiting to happen.
+ *
+ * pi exports `getAgentDir()`, but resolving it here would be a *runtime* import
+ * of the host package from an installed extension's own tree. Every other pi
+ * import in this codebase is `import type` and erased at build time, so the
+ * three lines are replicated instead (pi's dist/config.js: `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`,
+ * CONFIG_DIR_NAME `.pi`). Same reasoning as pi-browser-harness/src/profile/paths.ts.
