fix(search): honor per-call source_id/all_sources in the search op — the #1484 hint's advised retry was silently ignored

The zero-hit CLI hint tells users to retry with --source-id __all__, which
works for `query` (routes through resolveRequestedScope) but the `search`
op had no source_id/all_sources params: the flag parsed into params, nothing
consumed it, and the retry re-ran the same single-source search — an
invisible false negative whose params.source_id also suppressed the hint on
the retry. search now resolves per-call scope through the same canonical
fail-closed resolver as query (local __all__ spans the brain; remote
collapses to the caller's grant; out-of-grant source_id is denied).
