"""Mechanical web-fetch helper for the /research skill.
Talks to the local SearXNG (search) and Firecrawl (scrape) services. Stdlib
only — no third-party runtime dependencies. The /research skill (Claude) does
all the thinking; this file only fetches and parses.
Endpoints resolve from env (WEBTOOLS_HOST / SEARXNG_PORT / FIRECRAWL_PORT) with
defaults for the `webtools` box. Any failure exits nonzero with a stderr message
so the calling skill can react.
