feat(web-search): add Exa as a web search provider

Adds Exa as a web search provider.

Changes

• Add "exa" to SEARCH_PROVIDERS
• runExaSearch with x-exa-integration: "openclaw" header for usage tracking
• Config resolvers: resolveExaConfig, resolveExaApiKey, resolveExaContents, resolveExaMaxChars
• Zod schema validation and TypeScript types for Exa config
• Auto-detection via EXA_API_KEY env var

Configuration

{
  tools: {
    web: {
      search: {
        provider: "exa",
        exa: {
          apiKey: "your-exa-api-key",
          contents: true,
          maxChars: 1500,
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Exa options

Option	Description	Default
contents	Include page text in results	true
maxChars	Max characters per result	1500

Hey @kumarabhirup — would love your review on this. Adds Exa as a web search provider alongside Brave, Perplexity, and Grok. The integration follows the existing provider pattern with config resolvers, zod schema, and auto-detection via EXA_API_KEY env var.

Key changes in src/agents/tools/web-search.ts:

• runExaSearch with x-exa-integration: "openclaw" header
• Exa config resolvers (resolveExaApiKey, resolveExaContents, resolveExaMaxChars)
• Updated runWebSearch and createWebSearchTool to handle exa provider

CI is showing test failures — happy to investigate if those are pre-existing or related to this PR.

@10ishq We are re-writing Ironclaw to come as a separate package that uses OpenClaw as a dependency. We will then come back to this PR!

Hey @kumarabhirup — noticed the repo has been fully restructured (congrats on the rewrite!). The old web-search.ts this PR targets no longer exists, so this is unmergeable as-is. Happy to rewrite the Exa integration against the new DenchClaw architecture once web search is back in the new package structure. Just ping here when that's ready and I'll open a fresh PR.
