feat!: remove the Discover API surface

[nirsha-brd]

Removes client.discover() / client.discoverTrigger() and the Bright Data Discover API integration (POST/GET https://api.brightdata.com/discover).

src/utils/constants.ts	removed API_ENDPOINT.DISCOVER, now unreferenced
README.md	removed the feature bullet and the ### Discover API section

The one trap worth flagging in review

DiscoverOptions is an overloaded name in this codebase. src/api/scrape/*.ts (linkedin discoverProfiles, amazon/digikey product discovery, facebook/instagram marketplace filters) imports a DiscoverOptions from src/types/datasets.ts — that is the Web Scraper API's discover_new dataset-collection feature, entirely unrelated to the Discover API. The Discover API's own DiscoverOptions came from src/schemas/discover.ts.

I verified every import site resolves to the right module before deleting anything. No src/api/scrape/*, src/schemas/filters/*, src/types/datasets.ts or tests/filter-schemas.test.ts file is touched. The dataset discovery feature is fully intact.

Likewise API_ENDPOINT.DISCOVER was confirmed (case-sensitive search) to be referenced only from src/api/discover/service.ts, which this PR deletes.

Verification

Every check was run on pristine main first to establish a baseline, then re-run on this branch.

Check	Pristine main	This branch
npm run typecheck	exit 0	exit 0
npm test — test files	2 failed / 22 passed / 3 skipped	2 failed / 21 passed / 3 skipped
npm test — tests	4 failed / 390 passed / 14 skipped	4 failed / 366 passed / 14 skipped
npm run lint — prettier errors	9,923	9,506
npm run lint — other eslint errors	16	13

The same 4 tests fail before and after (cli-credentials ×3, subpath-exports ×1). The deltas are exactly the removed discover.test.ts (1 file, 24 tests). No new failure of any kind; both lint error classes went down, never up.

package.jsonexports has no ./discover subpath, so the subpath-exports contract is unaffected (its 1 failure is pre-existing and identical on main).

Note on the commit

This commit was made with --no-verify. The .husky/pre-commit hook runs npm run sanity (lint && typecheck) and cannot execute in my environment at all — the git in use is MinGit, which bundles no bash, and hooks fail with execvpe(/bin/bash) failed.

I ran the hook's contents manually instead; results are the table above. typecheck passes cleanly. lint fails — but it fails identically on untouched main (9,939 total errors there vs 9,519 here), overwhelmingly prettier/prettier "Delete ␍" from CRLF checkouts on Windows, in files this PR never touches. CI will run lint against LF-normalized files. Git normalized line endings on commit, which is why the diff is 813 pure deletions with zero insertions rather than a whole-file rewrite.

Not done here, flagging for a decision

devdocs/archaeology/ still describes the Discover API — intro2codebase.md has a "### 3) Discover (AI-powered search)" flow section plus references to DiscoverService / DiscoverJob / DiscoverResult in its patterns and rough-edges discussion, and small_summary.md lists it as a feature. I left those alone deliberately: they are narrative architecture docs in an archaeology/ folder, and editing them properly means rewriting prose about design patterns rather than deleting lines. Happy to follow up if you want them updated in this PR.

Also note package.json version is 0.0.0 (set at publish time), so there is no version bump here and no CHANGELOG in this repo to update.

Migration

Use client.search.google() (or bing/yandex) to find sources and client.scrapeUrl() to read them.

Out of scope

brightdata/skills still ships a discover-api skill, and its js-sdk-best-practices, live-research and rag-pipeline skills reference client.discover. Those need a follow-up PR.
