The tool bodies do not import `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout`; they forward `exec.signal` to `ctx.web`.
+`web_fetch` and `web_search` are migrated. `dsh-tool-web` keeps ownership of their model-facing schemas, and those schemas expose no timeout knob: `web_fetch` has no `timeout_ms` parameter, while `web_search` accepts `query` or `queries` without a timeout argument. The tool bodies do not import `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout`; they forward `exec.signal` to `ctx.web`.
 
 `dsh-web-fetch-http` keeps one configured provider-level `timeoutMs` as a large resource backstop for direct `ctx.web.fetch()` callers and misconfigured deployments; it owns no model-facing timeout. When a `TOOL_TIMEOUT` signal reaches the fetch provider first, provider-scoped classification treats it as upstream `WEB_ABORTED`, and the outer `tools/execute` wrapper replaces the final tool result with `TOOL_TIMEOUT`. A shipped web-tool deployment configures the provider backstop above the `timeout-policy` budget so the tool-call policy normally wins for model calls.

 The `web_search` result card (`WebBlock`, `packages/client/ui-primitives/src/WebBlock.tsx`) rendered its source list with a head/tail collapse: past a `maxSources` count (16 in the details panel, 8 in the chat row via `CHAT_WEB_MAX_SOURCES`) it drew the first `ceil(max/2)` sources, an `… 其余 N 条来源` expand button, then the last `max - ceil(max/2)`, mirroring `TerminalBlock`'s output cap. A user reading the card saw `来源列表已截断` and assumed the frontend had dropped sources it was holding.
 
-It had not. The seam (`capSources`, `packages/web/web/src/index.ts`) cuts the provider's sources to the tool's `searchMaxResults` bound (default 8) and sets `truncated`, and that one capped list feeds both the model-facing render text and the card's `presentationMeta`. The card never holds more sources than that one cut produced. So the collapse was hiding sources the user was entitled to see in full — and, with the default bound at 8 and the panel cap at 16, it almost never even triggered, leaving only the `truncated` note with no way to reveal anything.
+It had not. The seam (`capSources`, `packages/web/web/src/index.ts`) cuts each provider result to the tool's `searchMaxResults` bound (default 8); a multi-query call then deduplicates, interleaves, and caps the combined sources at the same bound. The final capped list feeds both the model-facing render text and the card's `presentationMeta`, so the card never holds more sources than the tool returned. The collapse was hiding sources the user was entitled to see in full — and, with the default bound at 8 and the panel cap at 16, it almost never even triggered, leaving only the `truncated` note with no way to reveal anything.
 
 ## Decision
 
 `WebBlock`'s search arm renders every source it receives in one `<ol className={css.sources}>`, with no head/tail slicing, no expand button, and no `maxSources` prop. `.sources` (`WebBlock.module.css`) gets a fixed `max-height` and `overflow-y: auto`, so a list longer than the card height scrolls in place rather than growing the card or hiding rows. The height is a design constant of the card geometry, so it lives in CSS, not a plugin config field.
 
-The model side is unchanged: the seam still caps sources at `searchMaxResults`, the model-facing render text is untouched, and the `truncated` flag and its `来源列表已截断` indicator stay. The card draws the list the seam produced, in full and scrollable, instead of collapsing its middle.

 That list is the one the model reads as long as nothing downstream of the tool rewrites the result content alone. A deployment mounting `dsh-spill-policy` breaks that correspondence for an oversized result: `tools/post-execute` replaces the model-facing `content` with a preview plus a spill locator and leaves `presentationMeta` whole, so the card still draws every source while the model reads a bounded excerpt. The card's contract is therefore the view it receives, not the model's context.

+# Agent Note: web_search accepts multiple queries in one call
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-17-web-search-multiple-queries.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The model-facing `web_search` tool accepted only one `query`. In deployments where an internal search backend was also exposed as MCP, models preferred the MCP search tool because it could take multiple keywords in one call, and they often followed a native `web_search` with a second MCP search when the first result felt insufficient.
+
+## Decision
+
+`web_search` accepts either the existing `query` string or a `queries` string array, but not both. `searchMaxQueries` bounds the array and provider fan-out, defaults to four, and appears in the system-prompt guidance and tool descriptions. Validation rejects an oversized array before any provider call starts.
+
+When `queries` has multiple entries, `dsh-tool-web` runs them concurrently through `ctx.web.search`, labels provider answers with their originating query, and deduplicates sources by URL. It takes one source at each rank from every query before advancing to the next rank, then caps the combined list to `searchMaxResults`; this prevents one query's lower-ranked sources from displacing every source from later queries. The single-query path remains unchanged.
+
+The multi-query orchestration lives in the tool consumer, not in the web seam or providers, because `WebSearchProvider.search` remains a single-query contract and the seam stays provider-neutral.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Rely on the existing parallel tool-call support.** Rejected: the model still sees a one-query schema and must decide to emit multiple `web_search` calls, which is exactly the friction that pushed it toward the MCP interface.
+
+**Add a multi-query request type to `WebSearchRequest`.** Rejected: providers are single-query backends, and changing the shared seam would force every provider to implement a feature only the model-facing consumer needs.
+
+**Accept an unbounded `queries` array.** Rejected: one model action could start an arbitrary number of provider requests and concatenate an arbitrary number of provider answers. A deployment-owned bound keeps the model schema focused on search input while controlling cost and output growth.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Models can batch several distinct searches into one native `web_search` call, reducing the incentive to switch to MCP search. The default query cap of four matches Codex `web.run`'s model-facing batch size while bounding concurrent provider calls; deployments can choose another positive integer independently of the source cap. Combined sources remain bounded by `searchMaxResults` and preserve each query's result ranking through round-robin merge. Provider answers in a multi-query result are prefixed with `### <query>` headings so the model can tell which answer came from which search. The schema no longer marks `query` as required; runtime validation requires exactly one of `query` or `queries`.
+
+`searchMaxQueries` is not a total native-search budget. A provider may perform several native searches inside one `ctx.web.search` call, so a model-backed provider with its own `maxUses` can permit up to `searchMaxQueries × maxUses` native searches. `searchMaxResults` bounds only the combined sources returned to the caller. Issue #2602 records the decision still required before this implementation is ready for review: whether independently configurable bounds are sufficient or the provider contract needs an overall budget.
+
+The real Web composition snapshot issues one `queries` call through the DeepSeek search provider, observes two auxiliary provider requests, and pins the round-robin combined result, durable metadata, and joined search-card title. Package tests separately prove overlap before the first provider promise settles, query-cap rejection before provider dispatch, deduplication, truncation, and cancellation propagation.

+# Agent Note: web_search 支持一次传入多个查询
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-17-web-search-multiple-queries.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+面向模型的 `web_search` 工具原来只接受单个 `query`。在同时把内部搜索后端以 MCP 方式暴露的部署中，模型更倾向于使用 MCP 搜索工具，因为它能一次传入多个关键词；模型也常常在调用原生 `web_search` 后觉得结果不够，再补一次 MCP 搜索。
+
+## 决定
+
+`web_search` 接受原有的 `query` 字符串，或 `queries` 字符串数组，但不能同时传两者。`searchMaxQueries` 限制数组大小与提供方请求扇出，默认值为 4，并出现在系统提示词指引与工具描述中。校验会在任何提供方调用开始前拒绝超限数组。
+
+当 `queries` 包含多个条目时，`dsh-tool-web` 会通过 `ctx.web.search` 并发执行这些搜索，用来源查询标注提供方答案，并按 URL 对来源去重。它从每个查询取得同一排名的一条来源后再推进至下一排名，然后把组合列表限制在 `searchMaxResults` 上限内；这样，一个查询排名较低的来源不会挤掉后续查询的所有来源。单查询路径保持不变。
+
+多查询编排放在工具消费方，而不是 web seam 或提供方，因为 `WebSearchProvider.search` 仍是单查询契约，seam 也保持提供方无关。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**依赖现有的并行工具调用能力。** 不采用：模型看到的仍然是单查询 schema，必须自行决定发起多次 `web_search` 调用，这正是把它推向 MCP 接口的摩擦点。
+
+**给 `WebSearchRequest` 增加多查询请求类型。** 不采用：提供方都是单查询后端，而且修改共享 seam 会迫使每个提供方实现只有模型侧消费方才需要的功能。
+
+**接受无上限的 `queries` 数组。** 不采用：一次模型操作可以启动任意数量的提供方请求，并拼接任意数量的提供方答案。由部署拥有的上限既让模型 schema 聚焦搜索输入，也能控制成本与输出增长。
+
+## 结果
+
+模型可以把多个不同搜索合并到一次原生 `web_search` 调用中，减少转向 MCP 搜索的动机。默认查询上限 4 与 Codex `web.run` 面向模型的批量大小一致，同时限制并发提供方调用；部署可以独立于来源上限选择另一个正整数。组合来源仍受 `searchMaxResults` 限制，并通过轮询合并保留每个查询的结果排名。多查询结果中的提供方答案会以 `### <query>` 标题标注，便于模型区分答案来自哪个搜索。schema 不再把 `query` 标记为必填；运行时校验要求 `query` 与 `queries` 二选一。
+
+`searchMaxQueries` 不是原生搜索总预算。提供方可以在一次 `ctx.web.search` 调用内执行多次原生搜索，因此拥有自身 `maxUses` 的模型型提供方最多可以执行 `searchMaxQueries × maxUses` 次原生搜索。`searchMaxResults` 只限制返回给调用方的组合来源。Issue #2602 记录了本实现进入正式审查前仍需完成的决策：独立配置的上限是否足够，还是提供方契约需要原生搜索总预算。
+
+真实 Web 组合快照通过 DeepSeek 搜索提供方发起一次 `queries` 调用，观察两次辅助提供方请求，并固定轮询组合结果、持久化元数据和拼接后的搜索卡片标题。包测试另行证明：第一个提供方 promise 结算前已经发起重叠调用；查询上限会在提供方分发前拒绝请求；去重、截断与取消信号传播保持正确。

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
+- **The query cap is not a total native-search budget** — `searchMaxQueries` bounds `ctx.web.search` calls, but a provider may perform several native searches inside each call. For example, a model-backed provider configured with `maxUses` can permit up to `searchMaxQueries × maxUses` native searches; `searchMaxResults` limits only the combined sources returned to the caller.
 - **HTML→markdown conversion degrades on inputs GFM cannot safely represent** — [turndown](https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown) (with GFM tables/strikethrough) converts at most `fetchMaxOutputChars` source characters through a real DOM. A conservative 512-level lexical guard passes deeply or ambiguously nested bodies through as raw HTML, conversion exceptions do the same, and table `colspan` is ignored because GFM has no spanning-cell representation; these bounds avoid blocking the event loop or expanding output from an untrusted numeric attribute ([archived dependency decision](../../../.agents/notes/archived/simplification/2026-07-26-turndown-for-tool-web-html-markdown.md)).
 - **The model-facing API is minimal by design, with promotions deferred** — `max_results` stays a config bound (not a model argument), and `web_fetch` takes only `url` (no `format`/`prompt`/LLM-summarization mode); both are named later steps in [the seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-06-24-web-capability-seam.md).
 - **No web-specific permission policy** — both tools execute without requesting `ctx.approval`; a deployment that needs confirmation must add a `tools/pre-execute` policy, and the package does not define persistent URL/domain grants.

 ## 已知限制与暂缓事项
 
+- **查询上限不是原生搜索总预算**：`searchMaxQueries` 限制 `ctx.web.search` 调用数，但提供方可以在每次调用内执行多次原生搜索。例如，配置了 `maxUses` 的模型型提供方最多可以执行 `searchMaxQueries × maxUses` 次原生搜索；`searchMaxResults` 只限制返回给调用方的组合来源。
 - **HTML→markdown 转换会在 GFM 无法安全表示的输入上降级**：[turndown](https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown)（带 GFM 表格／删除线）通过真实 DOM 转换至多 `fetchMaxOutputChars` 个源字符。保守的 512 层词法守卫会将深层或嵌套有歧义的主体作为原始 HTML 直接透传，转换异常也会如此处理；表格的 `colspan` 会被忽略，因为 GFM 无法表示跨列单元格。这些限制可避免阻塞事件循环，也避免不受信任的数值属性使输出膨胀（[已归档的依赖决策](../../../.agents/notes/archived/simplification/2026-07-26-turndown-for-tool-web-html-markdown.md)）。
 - **面向模型的接口有意保持精简，后续扩展暂缓**：`max_results` 保持为配置上限（不是模型参数），`web_fetch` 只接受 `url`（没有 `format`／`prompt`／LLM（大语言模型）摘要模式）；两项都列为 [seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-06-24-web-capability-seam.md) 中的后续步骤。
 - **没有 web 专用权限策略**：两个工具都不会请求 `ctx.approval` 就直接执行；需要确认的部署必须添加 `tools/pre-execute` 策略，该包不定义持久化的 URL／域名授权。
