* fix: ensure web search is performed for research plans to fix#535
When using certain models (DeepSeek-V3, Qwen3, or local deployments), the
agent framework failed to trigger web search tools, resulting in hallucinated
data. This fix implements multiple safeguards:
1. Add enforce_web_search configuration flag:
- New config option to mandate web search in research plans
- Defaults to False for backward compatibility
2. Add plan validation function validate_and_fix_plan():
- Validates that plans include at least one research step with web search
- Enforces web search requirement when enabled
- Adds default research step if plan has no steps
3. Enhance coordinator_node fallback logic:
- When model fails to call tools, fallback to planner instead of __end__
- Ensures workflow continues even when tool calling fails
- Logs detailed diagnostic info for debugging
4. Update prompts for stricter requirements:
- planner.md: Add MANDATORY web search requirement and clear warnings
- coordinator.md: Add CRITICAL tool calling requirement
- Emphasize consequences of missing web search (hallucinated data)
5. Update tests to reflect new behavior:
- test_coordinator_node_no_tool_calls: Expect planner instead of __end__
- test_coordinator_empty_llm_response_corner_case: Same expectation
Fixes#535 by ensuring:
- Web search is always performed for research tasks
- Workflow doesn't terminate on tool calling failures
- Models with poor tool calling support can still proceed
- No hallucinated data without real information gathering

- Make thought field optional in Plan model to fix Pydantic validation errors with local models
- Add Ollama configuration example to conf.yaml.example
- Update documentation to include local model support
- Improve planner prompt with better JSON format requirements
Fixes local model integration issues where models like qwen3:14b would fail
due to missing thought field in JSON output.
