Subject: feat: add deep-research skill, /deep-research command, fix
 web-search-researcher

deep-research skill fans out to isolated web-search-researcher subagents (now
using browser_web_search + browser_read_page instead of the non-existent
web_search/web_fetch), coverage-driven loop with a hard ceiling, synthesizes a
cited Markdown report. /deep-research command as explicit entry point. Docs updated.

+/**
+ * Deep research — the /deep-research slash command. An explicit entry point
+ * (alongside the auto-triggering deep-research skill) that kicks off a research
+ * run for a given question.
+ *
+ * The command is thin: it validates a non-empty question and injects a user
+ * message that starts the deep-research flow. The actual orchestration
+ * (decompose → fan out web-search-researcher subagents → synthesize a cited
+ * report) lives in skills/deep-research/SKILL.md, which the injected prompt
+ * triggers. pi.sendUserMessage always starts a turn.
