feat(web): add Tavily as web search/extract/crawl backend - #1731
Merged
Conversation
Adds Tavily (tavily.com) as a third web backend alongside Firecrawl and Parallel using the Tavily REST API via httpx. - Backend selection via hermes tools → saved as web.backend in config.yaml - Tavily support for all three tools: search, extract, and crawl - TAVILY_API_KEY in config registry, doctor, status, setup wizard - _tavily_request() helper with error handling - Normalizer functions for search results and documents - 15 new Tavily-specific tests + 9 backend selection tests - Backward compatible — existing Firecrawl/Parallel users unaffected Co-authored-by: kshitijk4poor <kshitijk4poor@users.noreply.github.com>
Same fix as the Parallel PR — _reconfigure_provider() was missing the web_backend config save, so switching backends via Reconfigure didn't persist web.backend to config.yaml.
