In-App Browser vs Browser Plugin for Corpus Add — bridging the operator's own search into the per-record corpus without leaving the cockpit

The Content Reader now has a manual-URL field — paste a URL the operator found via their own Google search and it lands in the funder's corpus. That closes the immediate gap but leaves the friction of leaving Augment-It to do the search, finding the URL, then copying it back into the right card. This exploration looks at two ways to collapse that round-trip: (1) an in-app browser/search surface — embed a search experience inside Augment-It so the operator never context-switches; (2) a browser plugin — let the operator search wherever they normally do (Chrome, Safari, Arc) and post the active tab's URL into the active record's corpus with a single keystroke. Each path has real friction-cost / engineering-cost / security-cost trade-offs. The doc captures the trade-offs, the unknowns to resolve before committing, and a recommendation.
