Error: Required API key PERPLEXITY_API_KEY for provider 'perplexity' is not set in environment, session, or .env file.

I'm simply trying to parse the PRD file. I don't have a perplexity API key, I have an anthropic and openai key in the env only. I am using the MCP server and also installed locally but cant generate tasks due to this.

This is fixed in the pending release -- the issue was that since we set the default research model to Perplexity, if the main model and fallback model fail, it would try to use Perplexity and it would run into the issue of the API key potentially not being set.

The fix simply verifies if the API key is set, and if it's not, it doesn't try to use it as a second fallback.
