/**
* Failure vocabulary.
*
* Every one of these is *thrown*, never returned. pi only sets `isError: true`
* on a tool result when `execute()` throws — a returned object with an `error`
* field looks to the model exactly like a successful search that found nothing.
*
* `SearchChallengeError` is the one the agent is expected to act on rather than
* just report: it means a human has to touch the browser before search can work
* again, so its message says so in words the agent can pass to the operator.
