Add a gated Known Limitations and Deferred Work section to every package README
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).

## Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
Exa returns a flat `results[]` and no generated answer, so `content` is omitted. Each result maps to a `WebSearchSource`: `url` ← `url`, `title` ← `title`, `snippet` ← the first non-empty `highlights[]` entry (a result with no highlight has no portable snippet and is dropped), `publishedAt` ← `publishedDate`. A request's `maxResults` wins over the configured `numResults` default and is sent as Exa's `numResults` for a cost/latency optimization; the final bound is enforced by the seam. Provider failures (HTTP errors, network failure, unparseable or wrong-shape bodies) surface as `WebError` `WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR`; an aborted request surfaces as `WEB_ABORTED`.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **A result with no non-blank highlight is dropped entirely** — no portable snippet to map, so fewer sources than the requested count can return.
|
||||
- **Only `searchType`/`numResults`/`highlightsPerResult` are exposed** — Exa's other controls (livecrawl, category, domain/date filters, full-text contents) wait on provider-neutral seam fields ([seam RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-24-web-capability-seam.md)).
|
||||
- **Abort classification is error-shape-based** — only a `DOMException` named `AbortError` maps to `WEB_ABORTED`; an abort carrying a custom reason (e.g. `dsh-timeout`'s `TimeoutReason`) surfaces as `WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR`.
