Merged
Conversation
Follow-up to #29042 (xAI Web Search provider plugin). Adds xAI to the canonical user-facing and developer-facing docs, with the search-only caveat and the LLM-in-a-trench-coat trust model carried over from the class docstring. - user-guide/features/web-search.md - Backends table: new xAI row + extended search-only note - New 'xAI (Grok)' setup section with config knobs and trust-model caution admonition - Single-backend yaml comment now lists 'xai' - Auto-detection table: explicitly note that xAI is NOT auto-detected (XAI_API_KEY is shared with inference/TTS/image-gen so we don't silently take over web for users who only set it for chat) - developer-guide/web-search-provider-plugin.md - Added plugins/web/xai/ to the 'study these next' reference list - reference/environment-variables.md - XAI_API_KEY description now also mentions web search
