feat: Go SearXNG client; throttled is not absence (#16)

* 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.
