+// General live cues (default off): a server-wide runner that now and then looks up ONE interesting public fact, news item or
+// local happening for a Mac meeting, outside the focused cue pipeline. Plan: operations/personal/wk44_2026/live-cues-grounding
+// (PLAN_live_cues_v3 Track 2, CONTRACT_v3 sections 1, 3, 4, 5).
+//
+// This is the first automatic path from spoken words to a web search, so it is built to stop, not to try: it runs only for an
+// extended (Mac) meeting that is armed and not paused, in cue mode general or all, with the owner's Public topics consent on and
+// a domain that is not personal. It NEVER runs inside the focused engine's evaluate() and never touches that engine's
+// inFlight, failures, lastCueAt, caps or breaker, so a slow search cannot silence a focused cue (validation 1, 3).
+//
+// How it stops (every recurring model caller must answer this):
+//  - ONE attempt in flight server-wide; a tick per meeting at most every intervalSeconds and only after ~90 s of new speech.
+//  - Four durable caps, charged synchronously BEFORE the call they pay for and never refunded: topic calls per meeting
+//    (attempts) and per day, web searches per day, cues per meeting. The file is local-day keyed and fails CLOSED: an
+//    unreadable file, a future day or a failed write means no call.
+//  - A server-wide breaker, persisted: three consecutive failures (or one provider quota error) open it for an hour. A clean
+//    attempt clears the streak only when it got at least as deep as the stage that failed, so a Jev "no" says nothing about
+//    the search provider. Search failures count (searchMeetingWeb swallows them into empty sources, which the typed wrapper
+//    below turns back into a failure).
+//  - Its own AbortController, a 60 s wall on the search and a wall on the whole attempt. end, pause, suspend and a mode change
+//    abort it (abortSession, abortAll, modeChanged); the session and mode are checked again before the search and before emit.
+//  - A cue older than 180 s from its window is dropped, never shown late.
+//
+// Privacy order inside an attempt: the deterministic sensitive-window skip, then the Jev trigger, then the Haiku topic, then
+// admitCueTopic (no digit, deny word, name or repeat), then the search. The query text lives in the emitted cue's log row only;
+// a trace row carries a hash. Search cost is not readable (the search process is stopped after result.json), so `usd` is the
+// topic and writer model cost only.
