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.
