+`browseAgents()` follows this multi-stage pipeline:
 1. Cluster Filter
    - Agents are filtered by the cluster tag if provided.
-2. Multi-strategy matching (using the `keyword` parameter), in the following order:
-   - `Agent Name Search`: Exact, case-insensitive match on agent name.
-   - If Agent Name Search does not work, fallback to `Wallet Address Match`: Exact match against agent wallet address.
-   - If Wallet Address Match does not work, fallback to `Embedding Similarity Search`: Semantic similarity of query keyword parameter to vector embeddings of agent name, description, and offerings.
