Deep Research (via DeepAPI)

We use DeepAPI (deepapi.co) for all deep research. This fully replaced the retired perplexity-deep-research skill that called OpenRouter/Perplexity directly.

API key

• Read DEEPAPI_API_KEY from the environment; setup writes it to ~/.deepapi/env.
• Gotcha: do NOT source ~/.zshrc — it breaks the shell (exit 126). Use the env var if set, else load the platform file:

[ -n "$DEEPAPI_API_KEY" ] || . ~/.deepapi/env
KEY=$DEEPAPI_API_KEY
BASE=${DEEPAPI_API_BASE_URL:-https://deepapi.co}

• Key missing → stop and ask the user. Never print or log the key.
