MCP consolidation:
- Route all MCP-capable connectors (Slack, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Airtable,
Notion, Confluence, interim Gmail/Calendar, custom MCP) through a single
`mcp_discovery` subagent. Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox stay native to enrich the KB.
- Deprecate Discord/Teams/Luma: no viable official MCP server.
Google-only web search:
- Remove the main-agent `web_search` tool and the SearXNG platform service;
all public web search now flows through the `google_search` subagent via task().
- Deprecate the Tavily/SearXNG/Linkup/Baidu search connectors (HTTP 410 on
create, "Deprecated" badge); guide heavy users to the custom MCP connector.
- Remove web search from anonymous chat (pure Q&A).
- Tear SearXNG out of docker compose + install scripts; drop tavily-python
and linkup-sdk deps and their config/env vars.
Fix:
- metrics._package_version() now swallows any metadata lookup failure. A
malformed editable-install distribution with no `Version` field raised
KeyError deep in importlib.metadata, and since it runs on every
record_subagent_invoke_duration call it was crashing every task()
delegation. Verified end-to-end against live GPT-5.4.

web_search now registers each result as a WEB_RESULT (locator {url}) and
renders a <web_results> block of <document view="excerpt"> [n] passages,
returning Command(update={messages, citation_registry}) like
search_knowledge_base. Collapse the duplicate research-subagent web_search
into the shared tool and teach the prompts to cite web hits with [n].
Recursive shared-folder rule: a shared/ must be shared by ALL siblings at its
level. The kernel (context, compaction, retry_after, web_search) was shared by
only 2 of the agents -- anonymous_chat + multi_agent_chat -- never by podcaster
or video_presentation. Those 2 are the "chat" category, so their shared code
belongs in that category's shared/, not the top-level one.
app/agents/anonymous_chat/ -> app/agents/chat/anonymous_chat/
app/agents/multi_agent_chat/ -> app/agents/chat/multi_agent_chat/
app/agents/shared/ -> app/agents/chat/shared/ (anon<->mac kernel)
Top-level app/agents/shared/ is gone: nothing was shared across all three
categories (chat / podcaster / video_presentation).
~289 import sites rewritten (app.agents.{anonymous_chat,multi_agent_chat,shared}
-> app.agents.chat.*); all moves are git renames (history preserved).
app/agents/ now: chat/, podcaster/, video_presentation/, runtime/.
