Peter Steinberger fa28e9be8d fix(plugins): find installed external web-search providers on fresh installs (#114327)
* fix(plugins): stop treating a partial active registry as authoritative for web providers

An active plugin registry with some web providers used to win even when a
manifest-declared candidate (e.g. an npm-installed Brave plugin with
BRAVE_API_KEY set) was absent from it, so env-var auto-detect could never see
installed external search providers. Delegate to the coverage-checked
resolvePluginWebProviders path, which reuses the active registry only when it
covers every declared candidate.

* feat(agents): require explicit overwrite before replacing pre-existing files in the write tool

Blind writes to an existing path silently destroyed user content (observed as
WildClawBench safety-task data loss with weaker models). The write tool now
refuses to replace an existing differing file unless the call passes
overwrite:true or this tool instance already wrote that path, keeping
iterate-loops friction-free while making destructive replacement an explicit
model decision.

* docs(templates): make a concrete first-message task outrank the BOOTSTRAP.md birth sequence

A fresh workspace's birth ritual hijacked substantive first messages: agents
introduced themselves and asked for a name instead of doing the requested
work (worst with weaker models, which follow the ritual literally). State
task precedence explicitly at the top of the template.

* fix(agents): lead the write overwrite guard error with the safe protocol

Weak models retried immediately with overwrite:true when the flag came first
in the message. Order the guidance read -> rename -> overwrite-as-last-resort
so the destructive path requires an explicit judgment call.

* refactor(agents): replace the write overwrite flag with a confirm-by-resend gate

The overwrite:true escape hatch let weak models bulldoze reflexively and grew
the tool schema. The first write to a differing pre-existing file now returns
that file's content (head-clipped) and a resend of the identical write, issued
after the warning, against byte-identical existing content confirms the
replacement. Fingerprints hash raw bytes; oversized files fall back to
size+mtime (named tradeoff); missing metadata fails closed.

* revert(agents): restore plain overwrite semantics in the write tool

The overwrite gate (flag, then confirm-by-resend) was overfit to one
WildClawBench safety rubric: the guarded model still chose to overwrite and
still scored zero, while every real overwrite in normal sessions paid a
round-trip. Write means write; peers (Pi, Hermes) agree.

* test(agents): drop the stale overwrite arg from the write output-contract test
