Size the synthesis evidence budget to the loaded model context so the prompt is not
silently truncated on small contexts. When the evidence overflowed the window the report
degenerated (it echoed the evidence tail instead of writing); the budget now reserves tokens
for the prompt scaffolding and converts the remainder to chars, keeping the full cap when the
context is unknown.
Add opt-in web grounding for auto-read: read the top search results, ingest them into an
ephemeral RAG scope, hybrid-retrieve the passages most relevant to the question with the
existing knowledge-base retriever, and fold those chunks into the step evidence. The scope is
per call and deleted afterwards, so a user's knowledge base is never touched.
Off by default; enable with UNSLOTH_RESEARCH_AUTO_SCRAPE=1. Gated per run by
budgets["maxAutoScrape"], so runs created without it keep legacy snippet-only behavior, and
grounding is skipped when the loaded context is too small for the prompt.
Add tests for the adaptive evidence budget, scraped-text cleaning, the ephemeral web-RAG
retrieval and scope cleanup, and the auto-read evidence path.
