feat(connectors): add free Lobu public discussion reader

Openburembawants to merge intofrom

Agents researching software complaints and alternatives need source material they can inspect and cite. This adds a free, keyless Lobu provider with one public Market reader: lobu#api/market/read_knowledge.

Search directly with queries such as Linear pricing complaints or Notion alternatives, then read returned content IDs. Responses preserve source text, URLs, dates, version history, pagination, empty results, and provider errors. Coverage is stored and uneven; this is not live scraping or exhaustive company enrichment.

Users may optionally continue in Lobu to connect their own accounts and browser. Those connections happen separately in Lobu; this connector receives no private-account credentials or data.

Validation:

  • All 11 focused tests passed, including live anonymous search → pagination → current source reading. Eight live requests sent no Authorization or Cookie headers.
  • Fresh signed-out browser verified source permalinks, discussion text, dates, history expansion, and public navigation.
  • Scoped formatting, lint, typecheck, version gate, and deterministic double compilation passed.
  • Market maintenance restored public Reddit feeds (141 items) and Trustpilot collection (20 Slack reviews); new sources were verified through anonymous reads. Daily refreshes are configured; their next scheduled executions remain unobserved.
  • Full check/test have 24 existing OpenAI test typing errors, reproduced on untouched origin/main. The IDs check also has identical unrelated upstream drift. This PR changes only the Lobu reader ID in the lockfile.

Maintainer review requested before hosted activation:

  • Can hosted provider configuration accept the empty credential shape and FREE usage without an account pool?
  • Please verify discover/inspect/run for the example queries from shared egress. Local Deno execution works; a separate Python probe received a Cloudflare 403, so hosted compatibility remains unproven.
  • Does the optional homepage continuation meet listing policy?

The OpenSpec proposal records scope, evidence, and coverage limits. No engine, lifecycle, SDK, or private-workspace execution changes are included. Submitted for hosted admission review; no launch or recommendation ranking is claimed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Walkthrough

The change adds the keyless, free Lobu provider and its POST /api/market/read_knowledge endpoint. The endpoint accepts validated search and retrieval filters. Fixtures and tests cover successful and empty responses, provider errors, request handling, timeouts, and optional live search and version-history checks. The change also adds connector requirements and records validation results, readiness observations, and pending hosted-launch checks.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to 82a03

The reader’s documented contract and recorded test data need small corrections, but no failure of the keyless read path was established. These issues are bounded and do not by themselves block merging the draft.

⚠️ Unverified finding Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Clarify the schema-change claim.

This PR adds connectors/lobu/schema/common.ts and connectors/lobu/endpoints/read-knowledge/schema/inputs.ts. “No engine/schema changes” is false as written. Change it to “No shared engine or core schema changes” if that is the intended non-goal.

As per path instructions, this comment reports a factual claim that contradicts the changed files.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @connectors/lobu/endpoints/read-knowledge/endpoint.ts:
- Around line 37-38: Preserve the existing descriptions for content_ids,
platforms, and entity_types in the compiled request schema. Update the field
definitions in zLobuReadKnowledgeBody so they reuse the described schemas or
retain each description before applying optionality, including the exact-read
and version-history guidance for content_ids.
- Line 28: Update both Lobu docsUrl values to point to public documentation that
defines POST /api/market/read_knowledge; if no such document exists, remove both
links rather than linking to an incomplete OpenAPI contract.

Review comments at @connectors/lobu/endpoints/read-knowledge/schema/inputs.ts:
- Around line 66-68: Add the 1–100 bounds to the `limit` schema in the vendor
mirror in `schema/inputs.ts`, preserving its description, and remove the
duplicate `limit` override from the `input.schema.body` extend block in
`endpoint.ts`. Ensure invalid values are rejected by the mirror before the
upstream call.

Review comments at @connectors/lobu/fixtures/read-knowledge-ok.json:
- Line 34: Replace the identifiable value in the fixture’s author_name field
with a synthetic value, preserving the field and response shape.

Review comments at @connectors/lobu/provider.test.ts:
- Line 98: Move the happy, error, schema, and live sync endpoint cases from the
provider-level tests into an endpoint test for read-knowledge, following the
endpoint-test organization used by the sync POST precedent. Keep provider-level
provenance coverage in place and ensure the moved cases still test the endpoint
behavior.

Review comments at @connectors/lobu/schema/common.ts:
- Around line 8-12: Move zLobuSortOrder and zLobuKnowledgeSortBy into the
read_knowledge endpoint’s inputs schema, update their imports to use the
endpoint schema, and remove the shared declarations and module if it is no
longer needed.
