feat(browser): browser-use + firecrawl plugins; drop single-eligible shortcut Migrates the remaining two cloud browser providers to plugins: plugins/browser/browser_use/ — dual auth (direct BROWSER_USE_API_KEY or managed Nous gateway), idempotency- key handling for retried managed-mode creates, x-external-call-id capture. plugins/browser/firecrawl/ — direct FIRECRAWL_API_KEY only; distinct from plugins/web/firecrawl/ (same key, different endpoint). Also drops the 'single-eligible shortcut' rule from agent.browser_registry._resolve(). Was a copy-paste from web_search_registry that would have introduced a real behavior change: a user with only FIRECRAWL_API_KEY set (for web-extract) would silently get routed to a paid Firecrawl cloud browser on a fresh install — not matching origin/main, which only auto-detected between Browser Use and Browserbase. Third-party browser plugins are subject to the same gate: they require explicit `browser.cloud_provider` to take effect. Verified end-to-end via plugin discovery: - 3 plugins register (browser-use, browserbase, firecrawl) - _resolve(None) with no creds: None (local mode) - _resolve(None) with only FIRECRAWL_API_KEY: None (matches main) - _resolve('firecrawl'): firecrawl (explicit wins) - _resolve(None) with BU+firecrawl: browser-use (legacy walk first hit) - _resolve(None) with all three: browser-use (legacy walk order) 2026-05-14 14:11:48 +05:30			`name: browser-browser-use`
