feat: Go SearXNG client; throttled is not absence

* docs: delete agent-cost; rename kb-search skill to brain.

bin/agents/cost does not exist. CI unittest now fails if a SKILL.md names a
missing bin/ path.

* test: gate SKILL.md bin/ paths; name the brain skill brain.

Follow-up to the agent-cost delete: unittest fails if a skill names a missing
tool. Frontmatter name is brain, not kb-search.

-
-## How to read it
-
-- **Baseline** is what every single message pays for: `AGENTS.md` plus anything
-  eagerly linked from it. Keep it small; it multiplies by message count.
-- **Cache thrash** matters more than raw size. Editing a file that sits early in
-  the context invalidates the prompt cache for the whole session.
-- **by_tool bytes** shows where the real spend is. Usually it is unfiltered
-  command output, not documentation.
-
-## Rule
-
-Measure before and after. A claim that something "reduces tokens" without a
-before and an after number is an opinion, not a result.

 - Escalate to `web-search` (the `web-search` skill) as the independent second
   source when both local roots cannot confirm; never report an unconfirmed
   single-source local answer as fact.

-
-   ```toml
-   [botdetection.ip_lists]
-   pass_ip = ["77.7.46.234"]

-2. **Shorten the suspensions.** In `settings.yml` the defaults are 24 hours for
+Pinned image: `docker.io/searxng/searxng:2026.8.10-0a118066d`.
-   a CAPTCHA and one hour for too-many-requests, which is far longer than the
+Settings: `deploy/searxng/settings.yml` + `limiter.toml` (RFC1918 `pass_ip`,
-   condition lasts:
+short `suspended_times`, `formats: [html, json]`). No secrets in git. Bind is
+`127.0.0.1:8888`.
 
-   ```yaml
+## Why the client classifies empty as throttled
-   search:
-     suspended_times:
-       SearxEngineCaptcha: 300
-       SearxEngineTooManyRequests: 120
-       SearxEngineAccessDenied: 300
-   ```
 
-3. **Give `general` more than one working engine.** `google` and `wikipedia`
+A default engine set under load answers HTTP 200 with `results: []` (sometimes
-   report `enabled: true` in `/config` yet never appear in a `general` response,
+with empty `unresponsive_engines`). That is indistinguishable from "nothing
-   so they are not in the default set. Put them in it; one live engine per
+found" unless the client refuses to call it absence.

 ## Verifying
 
-Ten requests in a row used to suspend the instance for minutes. After the
-change they should all answer:
-
 ```bash
 for i in $(seq 10); do
-  bin/web/search "test $i" -n 1 --refresh --json | jq -r .status
+  bin/web/search.go "test $i" -n 1 --refresh --json | jq -r .status
 done
 ```
