+/**
+ * Search and Extract against Parallel, stored as session-owned evidence.
+ *
+ * This is the write half of the read interface: every provider result is
+ * preserved in the local store, and the model sees only a bounded receipt with
+ * stable handles. Provider identities (search id, extract id, provider session
+ * id) stay in the store; the only thing a caller can pass back is a local
+ * context handle, which the store resolves within the owning session.
+ *
+ * Call rules enforced here, not left to the model:
+ *  - a Search call needs 1-3 concise keyword queries; the full objective is never
+ *    copied into them,
+ *  - `mode` is always sent explicitly (`basic` by default), because the provider
+ *    default is `advanced`.
+ *
+ * Recording, replay, the single retry-free request, and failed-versus-uncertain
+ * settlement are the recorded paid call's rules (`paid-call.ts`).
