+/**
+ * castle-cdp-search — web search for pi through a Chrome that is already
+ * running somewhere on the wire network, driven over CDP.
+ *
+ * It does not launch a browser. It attaches to one that a person or a launchd
+ * job started, using the same endpoint configuration as pi-browser-harness
+ * (`BU_CDP_HTTP` > `/browser-target` > castle), so a single choice governs both
+ * packages and they can never end up driving different browsers.
+ *
+ * The engine is switchable the same way: `CCS_SEARCH_ENGINE` > `/search-engine`
+ * > Google, plus a per-call `engine` parameter so the agent can fall back when
+ * one engine starts serving captchas.
+ *
+ * The tool is called `castle_cdp_search`, not `web_search`, on purpose: it is
+ * meant to sit alongside pi-web-access rather than shadow it. The model picks
+ * between them, so both stay available in one session.
