Output

• search → markdown links with short summaries
• read-link → focused markdown/text for the selected URL
• map-site → discovered URLs with titles/descriptions when available

Raw source, diffs, patches, and explicit job logs stay close to the original provider text. Structured GitHub pages use compact metadata plus the content that matters.
