* fix(web_search): Fix invalid model name sent to Perplexity
* chore: Only apply fix to direct Perplexity calls
* fix(web_search): normalize direct Perplexity model IDs
* fix: add changelog note for perplexity model normalization (#12795) (thanks @cdorsey)
* fix: align tests and fetch type for gate stability (#12795) (thanks @cdorsey)
* chore: keep #12795 scoped to web_search changes

Add xAI's Grok as a new web_search provider alongside Brave and Perplexity.
Uses the xAI /v1/responses API with tools: [{type: "web_search"}].
Configuration:
- tools.web.search.provider: "grok"
- tools.web.search.grok.apiKey or XAI_API_KEY env var
- tools.web.search.grok.model (default: grok-4-1-fast)
- tools.web.search.grok.inlineCitations (optional, embeds markdown links)
Returns AI-synthesized answers with citations similar to Perplexity.
Adds support for Brave Search API's freshness parameter to filter results
by discovery time:
- 'pd' - Past 24 hours
- 'pw' - Past week
- 'pm' - Past month
- 'py' - Past year
- 'YYYY-MM-DDtoYYYY-MM-DD' - Custom date range
Useful for cron jobs and monitoring tasks that need recent results.
Note: Perplexity provider ignores this parameter (Brave only).
