web_extract stopped using an auxiliary LLM long ago (deterministic
truncate-and-store), but browser snapshots still routed oversized
accessibility trees through the auxiliary web_extract model, keeping a
dead-looking aux slot alive across every config/picker surface.
- tools/browser_tool.py: remove _extract_relevant_content and
_get_extraction_model; oversized snapshots always truncate at line
boundaries, store the full tree to cache/web, and append a read_file
pointer (element refs beyond the cut live in the file)
- tools/browser_camofox.py: same — no LLM path
- Remove auxiliary.web_extract slot: config_defaults (removal note, same
pattern as session_search/PR #27590), cli.py defaults + env bridge,
gateway/run.py bridged keys, hermes config display, hermes model picker,
dashboard REST slots, desktop + web AUX_TASKS, i18n labels (en/zh/
zh-hant/ja/ar)
- Docs: env-vars, configuration, fallback-providers, browser + zh-Hans
mirrors (web-search zh-Hans was stale on the old LLM pipeline — synced
to truncate-and-store truth)
- Tests updated: aux bridge uses approval slot, browser tests assert the
LLM path is gone and stored files are secret-redacted
