Summary:
- Adds a plugin-owned CLI backend argument rewrite hook and wires Anthropic `claude-cli` to translate non-off `/think` levels into Claude Code `--effort`, with docs, changelog, API baseline, and tests.
- Reproducibility: yes. Current main has a high-confidence source reproduction: choose `claude-cli`, set a non ... builds argv from backend args that contain no `--effort` even though `thinkLevel` exists on the run params.
Automerge notes:
- No ClawSweeper repair was needed after automerge opt-in.
Validation:
- ClawSweeper review passed for head be17754009.
- Required merge gates passed before the squash merge.

When createWebSearchTool is wired with lateBindRuntimeConfig: true, the
first-class assistant tool now lives off whatever runtime is active at
execute time. That works in the gateway process where runtime metadata
and the active secrets snapshot are populated, but in agent contexts that
do not share that in-process state, both fall through to undefined and
the tool returned "web_search is disabled or no provider is available"
even though `openclaw capability web search` and direct provider runtime
execution succeeded.
Two fixes:
- src/agents/tools/web-search.ts: when late-binding, fall back to
options.runtimeWebSearch when the active runtime web tools metadata is
null, and fall back to options.config when getActiveSecretsRuntimeSnapshot
is null. Derive a configured provider id from
config.tools.web.search.provider and use it together with the runtime
selection when deciding preferRuntimeProviders, so an explicit Brave/
Perplexity selection still discovers the configured plugin even when
no runtime provider id is bound.
- src/plugins/web-provider-runtime-shared.ts: the active gateway plugin
registry may be otherwise compatible with the active config while
contributing zero web providers (channels, memory, harnesses, and
sidecars without Brave/web). Treating that empty active registry as
authoritative meant first-class tools resolved to "no provider".
Fall through to the scoped provider plugin load when the active
registry returns no providers. Explicit `onlyPluginIds: []` still
short-circuits to [] to preserve the empty-scope contract.
Adds regression tests for both seams.
