What's Changed

This release bundles two milestones whose work landed on main after the v1.34.0 tag point and ships them together.

✨ Milestone #12 — Brave API Deepening (#256, #257, #258, #259)

#256 web/news enrichment — extra_snippets (BRAVE_EXTRA_SNIPPETS), result offset, result_filter, custom YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD date ranges; count cap raised to 20.
#258 Brave Goggles — goggle-only lenses (goggles_id= injection on Brave, silently ignored elsewhere); programming-goggle preset.
#259 local_search tool — Brave POI 3-call pipeline (locations → POIs → descriptions) returning address, coordinates, phone, structured hours, and ratings; location IDs are ephemeral and never persisted.
#257 LLM Context fast-path — search_and_scrape uses Brave /res/v1/llm/context grounding when provider:brave is selected, with per-snippet provenance.

🛡️ Milestone #11 — Anti-Sloptimization (#246, #247)

#247 — ForumSignals surfaced in scrape_page.
#246 — corroboration search added to verify_recommendation (agree/disagree/silent tallies + reputation tiers).

🐛 Live-API fixes (#260)

Decompress Brave gzip responses before reading error bodies.
Cap local_search POI IDs to num_results (the locations filter ignores count).
