VibeAround v0.7.6: host-side web search is here

The main update: VibeAround can now give agents web search even when the selected model provider does not expose native server-side search.

How it works:

- VibeAround can replace provider-native `web_search` with a local search runtime.

- Search runs through the git-installed `va-search-tool` plugin.

- Results are normalized and fed back through the API Bridge, so the upstream model gets usable search context without needing native search support.

- Search sources are configured locally in Settings; API keys stay in local settings.

- Supported search source: Exa, Tavily, Grok, and Brave.

Also new in this release:

- Test configured web search sources directly from the desktop Settings flow.

- Inspect search requests and source-separated results in the Bridge recorder.

- Better profile connection coverage around bridge launches and provider test flows.

- Fixes for Codex Desktop API bridge model routing, including fake model IDs such as `GPT-5.5` with DeepSeek.

- Compatibility with older Codex Desktop bridge URL scope shapes.

- Clearer DeepSeek `Content Exists Risk` errors when injected search results trigger upstream moderation.

Packages are available for macOS Apple Silicon, Windows x64, and Linux x64.
