web recall daemon — full-text search and reader for the offline web archive in ~/misc/www. Launches into live full-text search across the rendered text of every page; Tab switches to browsing by path. Selecting a result opens it in the offpunk terminal browser. Markdown is rendered to HTML with lowdown first.

Search reads a plain-text cache under $XDG_CACHE_HOME/wrd, rebuilt incrementally as pages change. Everything runs in-process.
