Timeout timing/classification was re-implemented three ways across the tool-bearing capabilities, with the fusion of timeout+cancel and the timeout-vs-cancel reason recovery being the error-prone parts. Extract that shared half into a zero-dependency @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout library (clampTimeout/deadline/timeoutOf/TimeoutReason) and leave the non-shareable hard-kill in each capability, per the timeout-library RFC. bash: run() owns the deadline; runBash drops its killTimer and no longer classifies (SpawnSpec/SpawnOutcome lose timeoutMs/timedOut/aborted), so the public timedOut/aborted booleans become mutually-exclusive first-abort classifications. web_fetch: the hand-rolled controller/timer/listener/ signal.reason dance is replaced by provider-owned deadline/timeoutOf, keeping the WEB_FETCH_TIMEOUT / WEB_ABORTED contract. fs stays timeout-free (README states why).
web/ - web capability family
The web access capability seam: an abstract web interface, search/fetch provider implementations, and the model-facing web tools. All product packages.

The interface lives at web/web/. Unlike bash/fs, the seam spans two capabilities (search and fetch) with potentially multiple providers each: ctx.web is one web-access middle layer with one provider-selection policy, one abort/error vocabulary, and one product-facing "how this harness reaches the web" config surface. Providers register capabilities, not tools; tool-web is the only owner of model-facing names, schemas, prompt guidance, and presentation. A search provider swap does not change how the model asks for a query, and a fetch implementation swap does not change how the model asks for a URL.
See the web capability seam RFC for the design rationale, including why search and fetch are deliberately one seam and why web_fetch's SSRF protection is deferred.
