Dudu-0223 0930e483ec fix: address codex review round 2
- Preserve abort errors while parsing search responses: when the caller's
  AbortSignal fires after headers but during response.json() (both the success
  and HTTP-error body parses), surface WEB_ABORTED instead of wrapping it as
  WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR, so agent cancel/dispose is not misreported as a provider
  failure. Applied to both the Exa and Perplexity providers.
- Report a malformed baseURL as misconfigured in status() (URL.canParse), so
  selection diagnostics and execution agree (configured-unavailable up front
  rather than a late WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR). WebProviderStatus already had the
  reason.

@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).
