Dudu-0223 bb8f7799ce fix: drop unreachable WebError rethrow in exa/perplexity search
The `if (error instanceof WebError) throw error` guard is dead code in the
exa and perplexity providers: their mappers (mapExaResponse /
mapPerplexityResponse) never throw a WebError — a wrong-shape body throws a
TypeError, which the catch correctly translates to WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR. The
guard was added for symmetry with the deepseek provider, whose mapper DOES
throw a WebError in strict mode (no web_search_tool_result block), so it
keeps the rethrow. The unreachable lines tripped the per-file 100% coverage
gate.

@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-perplexity

A Perplexity-backed WebSearchProvider for the harness web capability seam (ctx.web). It calls Perplexity's OpenAI-compatible POST /chat/completions endpoint and maps the generated answer plus citations into the seam's normalized WebSearchResult.

This is an implementation package: it registers a provider into ctx.web, it does not own the key and it does not register a model-facing tool. Like @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek, it is a function/namespace plugin (inject: ['web']). The OpenAI-compatible wire shape is a provider-private detail — it does not make this provider depend on ctx.llm.

Config

Key Default Meaning
apiKey $PERPLEXITY_API_KEY Perplexity API key. Empty/absent → provider status() reports missing-credential.
baseURL https://api.perplexity.ai Endpoint base; /chat/completions is appended. An unparseable value makes status() report misconfigured.
model sonar Search model name.
- id: web-search-perplexity
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-perplexity'
  config:
    apiKey: !!js process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY

Mapping

contentchoices[0].message.content (the generated answer). sources[] prefers the structured search_results[] (url, title, snippet, publishedAtdate), falling back to the URL-only citations[] array only when search_results is absent — those sources carry just a url, which is why title/snippet/publishedAt are optional on the seam. Provider failures surface as WebError WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR; an aborted request surfaces as WEB_ABORTED. Perplexity has no result-count control, so maxResults is enforced by the seam (truncating sources[] and setting truncated).
