Removed process-local URL response reuse so read and URL-backed search paths fetch current content.
Added regressions for repeated reads and searches.
Fixes#5803
- Added the `xd://` virtual device protocol (`internal-urls/xd-protocol.ts`, `tools/xdev.ts`): tools declaring `loadMode: "discoverable"` are unmounted from the request tools array and driven via `read xd://` (list/docs+schema) and `write xd://<tool>` (execute), gated by the `tools.xdev` setting (default on) and inlined into the system prompt.
- Merged the `irc`, `job`, and `launch` tools into a single `hub` tool (`tools/hub/`, `async/job-manager.ts`): messaging keeps `send`/`inbox`/`list`, job control maps to `wait`/`cancel`/`jobs`, process supervision keeps `start`/`logs`/`stop`/`restart`/`describe` with `ps`, and the unified `wait` races background jobs against peer messages; SDK `IrcTool`/`JobTool`/`LaunchTool` are replaced by `HubTool`.
- Removed the hidden `resolve` tool in favor of the `xd://resolve`/`xd://reject`/`xd://propose` resolution devices, auto-including `write` whenever a deferrable tool or plan mode is present.
- Removed the BM25 tool-discovery system: the `search_tool_bm25` tool, the `tool-discovery` module, the `tools.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryMode`/`mcp.discoveryDefaultServers`/`tools.essentialOverride` settings, per-tool MCP selection, and the `mcp_tool_selection` message type.
- Unified tool presentation on `ToolLoadMode` (`essential`|`discoverable`), replacing the custom-tool `xdev?: boolean` opt-out; custom, extension, MCP, RPC host, image-generation, and TTS tools now default to `discoverable`, and added a `satisfies` predicate to `SoftToolRequirement`.
- Removed the standalone `ssh` command tool and `ssh/ssh-executor` (the `ssh://` read/write/search protocol stays), and made `--tools` address hidden built-ins.
- Updated collab-web to render `xd://` dispatches and `hub` op families, dropped the `search_tool_bm25`/`ssh`/`report-finding` renderers, refreshed tool docs and prompts, and migrated the affected tests and changelogs.
- Changed the `path` property from an array of strings to a single semicolon-delimited string across tool definitions and tests.
- Updated validation error messages to reflect the new `path` input format.
- Adjusted all relevant test cases to provide path targets as semicolon-separated strings.
- Fixed grep and ast-grep tools rejecting fuzzy url-shaped paths like schemeless www. or collapsed-scheme spellings.
- Applied the extra-CA wrapper to the model registry default fetch to respect the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable.
- Moved isReadableUrlPath utility to path-utils to share recognition logic between reading and searching pipelines.
- Implemented a fallback that checks if a directory matching a fuzzy URL path exists locally before resolving it as an external URL.
- Added explicit errors for unsupported URL schemes to replace misleading local-path errors.
- Materialized readable URL bodies through the read cache before resolving search, ast_grep, and ast_edit filesystem scopes.
- Preserved URL source extensions for AST language detection and added regression coverage for URL search paths.
