Validation rules

• Enum validation: searchType must be EMPLOYMENT or EDUCATION.
• searchConfig: if present (even as {}) it fully replaces any request-level defaultSearchConfig for this search.
• thirdPartyBan: when set inside searchConfig, values must be canonical vendor codes. See Third-party ban.
