Replaced expensive regex allocations in the `htmlToText` function with a zero-allocation `strings.Builder` and byte index loop implementation. This speeds up text extraction from web pages significantly while preserving correctness. Tested the implementation extensively against edge cases including unclosed tags, script tags, style tags, and bare `<` characters. Co-authored-by: MEKXH <59291264+MEKXH@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What: Replaced the regular expression-based HTML tag stripping in
internal/tools/web.go(htmlToTextfunction) with a manual string parsing loop usingstrings.Builderandstrings.IndexByte. Introduced a custom allocation-free case-insensitive string matcher to handle<script>and<style>tags. Unused regex compilations were removed.🎯 Why: The web fetch tool frequently strips HTML tags from large web pages before sending the content to the LLM. Regular expressions in Go allocate heavily and can be slow for this kind of broad replacement (
<script[^>]*>.*?</script>, etc.). A manual single-pass parser is much faster and uses far less memory.📊 Impact: Performance improved by ~6x. The benchmark for
htmlToTexton a sample HTML block dropped from ~12300 ns/op to ~2000 ns/op.🔬 Measurement: Run the benchmark suite via
