Summary

  • Add Tavily as a selectable BYOK web-search engine alongside the existing providers.
  • Register web_search_tool, tavily_search, and tavily_extract against Tavily's direct Search and Extract APIs.
  • Add encrypted API-key persistence, environment overrides, settings UI, provider attribution, translations, and documentation.
  • Keep complete extraction failures observable while preserving partial results with a safe failure count.

Problem

  • OpenHuman supports several search providers but users with an existing Tavily account cannot select Tavily or use its Search and Extract APIs directly.
  • A Tavily integration must preserve the existing provider abstraction, BYOK secret handling, LocalOnly privacy policy, managed fallback behavior, and failure observability.

Solution

  • Add a Tavily engine builder and shared direct-API client using Bearer authentication, bounded result rendering, LocalOnly blocking, and egress reporting.
  • Expose Tavily's documented search filters, optional answer/raw-content/images, and extraction for batches of up to 20 URLs.
  • Extend the config schema/RPC/UI with encrypted Tavily credentials and TAVILY_API_KEY / OPENHUMAN_TAVILY_API_KEY overlays.
  • Test the HTTP contract with local stand-ins, including missing/invalid keys, response-body redaction, complete and partial extraction failures, config RPC round-trips, env precedence, and encrypted persistence.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80% — merged Vitest + cargo-llvm-cov diff coverage is 89% (580 measured lines, 61 missing).
  • Coverage matrix updated — added feature ID 7.2.5 to docs/TEST-COVERAGE-MATRIX.md.
  • All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed in the PR description under ## Related.
  • N/A: Tavily is the external BYOK provider introduced by this feature; all automated tests use local stand-ins and do not contact third-party APIs.
  • N/A: this does not add or change an OS-specific release-cut surface; provider behavior is covered by automated Rust/UI tests.
  • Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN in the ## Related section.

Impact

  • Desktop, CLI, and JSON-RPC users can select Tavily and use its direct Search and Extract APIs with their own key.
  • Tavily requests go directly to api.tavily.com; they never route through the OpenHuman managed backend.
  • The API key follows the existing encrypted-secret and redacted settings patterns. LocalOnly mode blocks requests before any transfer occurs.
  • Existing engines and tool names remain unchanged. Selecting Tavily without a usable key falls back to the existing managed surface.

Commit & Branch

  • Branch: feat/search-tavily-provider
  • Commit SHA: e16f205da

Validation Run

  • pnpm --filter openhuman-app format:check
  • pnpm typecheck
  • Focused tests: 32 Tavily-filtered unit tests; 1 encrypted-config integration test; 1 config RPC integration test; CI-scoped coverage suites (1579 domain + 50 integration tests, 0 failures).
  • Rust fmt/check (if changed): cargo fmt --all -- --check; default and product-feature Clippy with -D warnings.
  • Tauri fmt/check (if changed): pre-push Tauri fmt and Clippy with -D warnings passed; Tauri production code is unchanged.

Validation Blocked

  • command: N/A
  • error: N/A
  • impact: N/A

Behavior Changes

  • Intended behavior change: selecting Tavily registers the direct BYOK search/extract tool family; total extraction failure is returned as a tool error while partial success retains usable content.
  • User-visible effect: Tavily appears in Search settings with an encrypted key editor and provider attribution in tool timelines.

Parity Contract

  • Legacy behavior preserved: all existing search engines, managed routing, result limits, timeout configuration, and website allowlist behavior are unchanged.
  • Guard/fallback/dispatch parity checks: registry tests pin Tavily's tool family and keyless managed fallback; LocalOnly tests block before network transfer; config tests cover engine dispatch, key storage/clear, encryption, and env precedence.

A rabbit tunes the searcher's key,
Tavily hops through web and sea.
Safe paths guard each network call,
Tests watch the answer, large and small.
Translations bloom in every place,
Managed search remains in grace.

- Line 1596: Update the Russian guidance string near the existing OpenHuman
provider labels to use the established “OpenHuman Управляемый” name instead of
“OpenHuman Managed”, matching the label used elsewhere in the same settings
panel.

Apply the same fix in `@app/src/lib/i18n/de.ts` at line 1632: German formality
inconsistency in the search warning.

Apply the same fix in `@app/src/lib/i18n/id.ts` at line 1582: Indonesian
managed-provider label mismatch at both descriptions.

Apply the same fix in `@app/src/lib/i18n/it.ts` at line 1630: Italian wording and
agreement issue in the Tavily description.

In `@gitbooks/features/privacy-and-security.md`:
- Line 39: Update the Web search proxy entry to state that when Tavily is
selected, tavily_extract sends extraction requests and their requested URLs
directly to Tavily at https://api.tavily.com, alongside the existing
query-routing disclosure.

In `@src/openhuman/search/tools/tavily.rs`:
- Around line 635-642: Update the answer-rendering logic near the answer binding
to gate parsed.answer on the parsed include_answer value, returning no answer
when include_answer is absent or false while preserving the existing non_empty
handling when it is true.

- Gate the rendered answer on the requested include_answer flag, so a
  provider response cannot inject unrequested synthesized content into
  the tool output; add the inverse test.
- Disclose in privacy-and-security.md that tavily_extract sends the
  requested URLs directly to Tavily.
- Normalize the ru/de/id/it Search settings copy (established managed
  label, German formal register, Italian phrasing).

Review follow-ups landed in 0637248 — the three actionable comments are fixed with replies inline, and the tavily suite is 27/27 locally (cargo test --lib search::tools::tavily).

Intentionally not taken: the nitpick to add gitbooks/**/*.md to the Lychee inputs in .github/workflows/pr-quality.yml — that widens a CI workflow's check surface beyond this PR's feature scope, so it's left for maintainers to decide (happy to do it as its own PR if wanted).
