Teknium d4cec15b47 refactor(tools): first-wave simplification of tools/ (file ops split, lazy_deps, code_exec, approval, browser, delegate, mcp, skills, terminal, voice, media)
Behavior-neutral structural pass over tools/*: god-file extractions into
sibling modules (file_operations_common/lint/search, file_tools_paths/
read_tracking/write, code_execution_env/rpc, tool_search_catalog/names/
validation, tts_command_provider, ...), duplicate helper unification,
if/elif -> dispatch tables, dead-code removal, docstring compaction.
Tool schemas (get_tool_definitions) verified byte-identical to base.

"""X Search tool backed by xAI's built-in ``x_search`` Responses API tool.
Registers when either xAI credential path is available (``XAI_API_KEY`` or
``hermes auth add xai-oauth``). At call time an explicit ``XAI_API_KEY`` wins
(``prefer_api_key=True``): x_search is API-metered and the subscription OAuth
bearer answers ``/v1/responses`` in a degraded no-citation mode (#88040).
Defensive output: ``from_date``/``to_date`` are validated client-side (strict
``YYYY-MM-DD``, ``from <= to``, ``from`` not in the future) so malformed windows
fail fast instead of burning a billable call. Successful responses carry
``degraded``/``degraded_reason``: True when a narrowing filter was active AND
xAI returned no citations in either channel, meaning the answer came from the
model's own knowledge rather than the X index.
Salvaged from PR #10786 (originally by @Jaaneek).
