Greptile Summary

Removed Exa from BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) system - users can now only use platform Exa API key with standard pricing. Fixed autolayout error by wrapping Panel component in ReactFlowProvider on error and empty workflow pages.

Major Changes:

• Removed Exa from BYOK providers list across type definitions, API validation, and UI
• Search API route no longer accepts workspaceId parameter or checks for BYOK keys
• All Exa searches now use platform API key with fixed SEARCH_TOOL_COST (removed BYOK cost bypass)
• Added ReactFlowProvider wrapper for Panel component in error page and empty workflow page to fix hook dependency error
• Updated use-auto-layout hook documentation to clarify ReactFlowProvider requirement
• Minor UI improvements to BYOK settings (adjusted skeleton styling and icon container)

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no issues found
• Changes are straightforward and well-executed: cleanly removes Exa BYOK feature across all layers (types, API, UI) and properly fixes ReactFlow hook dependency issue by adding required provider wrapper
• No files require special attention
