 - Server updates chat-level model metadata on each call: `lastUsedProvider`/`lastUsedModel`; first successful/failed call also initializes `initiatedProvider`/`initiatedModel` if unset.
 - For `openai` and `xai`, backend enables tool use during chat completion with an internal system instruction.
 - Available tool calls for chat: `web_search` and `fetch_url`.
-- `web_search` returns ranked results with per-result summaries/snippets. Its backend engine is selected by `CHAT_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINE` (`exa` default, or `searxng` with `SEARXNG_BASE_URL` set). SearXNG mode requires the instance to allow `format=json`.
+- `web_search` uses Exa and returns ranked results with per-result summaries/snippets.
 - `fetch_url` fetches a URL and returns plaintext page content (HTML converted to text server-side).
 - When a tool call is executed, backend stores a chat `Message` with `role: "tool"` and tool metadata (`metadata.kind = "tool_call"`), then stores the assistant output.
 - `anthropic` currently runs without server-managed tool calls.
