fix: move search result date from snippet to published

[Joilence]

Summary

With a session token, Kagi's result descriptions now contain a date span and a "Summarize" link, which leak into kagi search snippets while published stays null:

before: {"snippet": "Oct 4, 2026  Second\n                snippet Summarize", "published": null}
after:  {"snippet": "Second snippet", "published": "2026-10-04T00:00:00Z"}

• Date span parsed into published as YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z and removed from the snippet (parse_result_date); "Summarize" text dropped, whitespace collapsed (snippet extraction)
• Relative dates ("Today", "Yesterday", "2 days ago") stay in the snippet with published: null
• pretty and markdown print published, --template accepts {{published}}; also applies to API-key searches, which already had published

Breaking

• kagi search --format csv and kagi batch --format csv gain a fourth column, header title,url,snippet,published (format_csv_response)

Known limitations

• Only Mon D, YYYY is parsed, the one absolute format in 124 sampled spans; any other keeps the date in the snippet with published: null

Verification

All four pass in this PR's rust CI job; locally (Claude Code, macOS, rustc 1.95.0) clippy flags 2 nonminimal_bool in src/usage.rs:443-444 and mail-cli aborts, both also on main.

• cargo fmt --check
• cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
• cargo test -q
• cargo check --locked

Manual check steps (session token, KAGI_API_KEY unset, kagi = ./target/release/kagi):

• cargo build --release
• kagi search --format json "a wrong test is worse than no test" | jq '.data[] | {published, snippet}': dated results have published as YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z; no snippet ends with "Summarize"
• kagi search --format pretty "openai news this week": dated results show a YYYY-MM-DD line under the URL; "Today" stays in the snippet
• kagi search --format csv "rust release" | head -3: header title,url,snippet,published
• kagi batch --format csv "rust" "zig" | head -3: same header under each query's === Results for: ... === banner
• kagi search "rust release" --template '{{published}} {{title}}': dated results start with the timestamp

Docs

• README: no affected content; search.mdx, output-contract.mdx updated instead
• CHANGELOG updated for notable user-facing changes

• model_used: claude-opus-5-5 (Claude Opus 5.5)
• human_testing: Ran the 6 manual check steps on macOS against my Kagi account; all behaved as listed.
• contribution_summary: moved the search result date from the snippet into published, removed "Summarize" link text from snippets, and added published to the text, CSV and template outputs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Search and batch CSV output now includes a published column.
  • Search results can show publication dates in pretty, Markdown, and template output. Dates are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD in pretty and Markdown views.
• Bug Fixes
  • Search snippets no longer include summarize-link text. Absolute dates are extracted into published, while relative dates remain in snippets.
• Documentation
  • Updated search and output guides to explain publication dates, their format, and when the value may be empty.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Search-result parsing now extracts recognized absolute dates and cleans snippet text. Templates, pretty output, Markdown, and CSV expose published values with format-specific handling. Documentation and changelog describe the field and its behavior for session-token and API-key searches.

Changes

Published search results

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Publication date extraction src/parser.rs	Primary and grouped results parse recognized absolute dates, remove summarize-link text, and collapse snippet whitespace. Relative or unrecognized date text remains in the snippet.
Published values in search output src/main.rs, docs/content/docs/commands/search.mdx, docs/content/docs/reference/output-contract.mdx, CHANGELOG.md	Templates, pretty output, Markdown, and CSV include published values with format-specific handling. Tests and documentation cover the output and date contract. The changelog records these changes.

- Line 2307: Update the template expansion around the published placeholder
replacement to expand all placeholders from the original template in one pass;
do not run further replacements over inserted snippet, title, or URL values, so
literal placeholder text in results remains unchanged.

Review comments at @src/parser.rs:
- Around line 615-617: Update the date-parsing logic that builds the timestamp
to validate that the parsed month, day, and year form a real calendar date, and
require exactly three tokens with no surplus text before returning Some. Return
None for invalid or extra-token dates so the unrecognized text remains in
snippet.
