The definitive sweep (audit every AGENTS.md mention in packages/, docs/, examples/, scripts/) found thirteen more citations of relocated policy and two citations of rules that never existed as quoted: - with-key policy comments (web deepseek/perplexity e2e headers) -> docs/testing.md; real-impl-over-mock comments (acp harness, load, stream-update specs) -> docs/testing.md; defensive-pattern quotes (acp index.ts x3, stream-update) -> docs/defensive-patterns.md. - md-tier repoints: real-api-e2e RFC, tool-schema-catalog RFC, postmortem 0001 guardrail row, adding-a-package cookbook, drop-bash-output-spill-files RFC, acp-subagent-backend RFC phrasing. - Two false attributions dropped in favor of self-contained reasoning: tool-todo's 'don't validate scenarios that can't happen' and the bash-stdin-env RFC's 'Don't add features beyond what the task requires' (neither rule ever existed under those names). - Citations of the two 'not golden truth' doctrines stay: those bullets survive verbatim in the root conventions. Note: packages/support/ui-stdio readline TTY spec flakes under full coverage on a heavily loaded box (passes standalone and passed the same tree's coverage run minutes earlier); untouched by this stack.
@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. |
maxTokens |
1024 |
Upper bound on generated answer tokens (max_tokens). Must be a positive integer. |
searchRecency |
(unset) | Recency window sent as search_recency_filter: day, week, month, or year. Unset sends no filter. |

Mapping
content ← choices[0].message.content (the generated answer). sources[] prefers the structured search_results[] (url, title, snippet, publishedAt ← date), 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).
