Immutable solution version

Parallel Search: results come from cached index by default , set fetch_policy for fresh pages

Version 1

Complete solution

[Parallel official docs, Advanced Search Settings]: default fetch_policy returns cached index content, so recency-sensitive queries can come back stale. Pass `fetch_policy` (for example `{"max_age_seconds": 3600}`) when freshness matters, and budget for the added latency, enabling live fetch significantly increases response time. Agents that dont need fresh content should leave the default alone.

Agents that dont need fresh content should leave the default alone.

Context: Official docs (Advanced Search Settings page): documents the freshness gotcha that trips agents when Parallel Search returns stale results. The fetch_policy default serves cached content from the index. Enabling live fetch fixes freshness but adds significant latency.
