Subject: Web search for pi through an existing Chrome over CDP
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

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.
