The first tool that punches through the sandbox to the network. T2, declares
NETWORK_ACCESS with url marked NETWORK_TARGET, so egress is enforced by the harness
(NetworkHostRule, plane 2) — not tool courtesy. Header-first guards (§3): content-type
checked before the body is read (binary/media rejected at the header via the extractor's
shared content-type policy); declared Content-Length capped; the read itself is bounded
so a server lying about length can't blow the cap (default 10 MB).
On success returns the extracted markdown plus metadata for citation lineage + replay:
url, content_sha256 (over the raw bytes), fetched_bytes, extractor_version, quality.
Consumes slice-1's HtmlMarkdownExtractor. Tested with Ktor MockEngine.
NOT yet registered in the live tool registry: with an empty networkAllowedHosts the
host rule allows everything, so exposing a fetch tool before the egress allowlist
(SearXNG endpoint + approved-source hosts, per-session) is wired would be an open-egress
hole. Registration + egress config land with the research workflow slice.
First slice of the research workflow: the pure, zero-inference extraction pipeline
that the WebFetchTool will consume. New :infrastructure:research module (jsoup).
HtmlMarkdownExtractor: content-type dispatch (HTML extracted; JSON/text pass
through; binary/media/pdf rejected at the header), then structural strip
(MainContentSelector: drop script/style/nav/footer/aside/form + class/id blocklist)
+ density extraction (text − link-text score, semantic <article>/<main> preferred)
+ DOM→markdown (MarkdownRenderer/Table/Inline: headings, lists incl. nested, tables,
fenced code, blockquotes, links, emphasis). Output below the min-length threshold is
flagged LOW_QUALITY so the workflow can route around dead sources (SPAs, paywalls).
extractorVersion ("html-md-1") is pinned on every result so replay reads recorded
artifacts and never re-extracts — the embedding-hash discipline (§5, ADR-0000 §10).
Next slices: WebFetchTool + egress policy + CAS wiring (emits the fetch +
LowQualityExtraction events), then WebSearchTool/SearXNG, workflow graph, synthesis.
