Add PodSips API key + podcast search skill

[devin-ai-integration]

Summary

Adds a new PODSIPS_API_KEY integration and a dynamic podsips_search skill for searching podcast transcripts via the PodSips API.

Part 1 — KeyStore (KeyStore.swift)

New Key.podsips + Service.podsips entry:

• Stored in Keychain alongside other keys
• Appears in Settings → Keys as "PodSips" with description linking to developer.podsips.com

Part 2 — host.getApiKey(alias) bridge (JSRuntime.swift)

Exposes a new synchronous bridge function so dynamic JS skills can read API keys from the Keychain:

// host.getApiKey("podsips") → reads KeyStore.shared.value(for: .podsips)
let getApiKey: @convention(block) (String) -> String? = { alias in
    return JSRuntime.resolveApiKey(alias: alias)
}

A static aliasToKey map resolves friendly names (lowercase) → KeyStore.Key. Also maps exa, openai, deepgram, etc. so any future dynamic skill can reuse it.

Part 3 — podsips_search skill (BundledSkillSeeds.swift)

Bundled seed → auto-written to Workspace/Skills/podsips_search/ on first launch. Behavior:

1. host.getApiKey("podsips") — early-return with helpful error if missing
2. GET https://api.podsips.com/api/v1/search?q={query} with Bearer auth
3. Returns { summary, clips: [{ podcast, episode, speaker, timestamp, text, context }] }
4. Handles 401/403 (bad key), 429 (rate limit), and network errors

How to test: Settings → Keys → PodSips → paste your key → ask Loop to search podcasts (e.g. "search podcasts about AI safety").

Original prompt from API User

Repository: https://github.com/theashbhat/LoopHarness

We need to add a new API key integration and a corresponding on-device skill for the PodSips podcast transcript search API.

#``# Part 1: Add PodSips API Key to Settings → Keys

Loop already manages several API keys in Settings → Keys (OpenAI, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Exa, Cursor, etc.). Add a new key entry for PodSips:

• Key identifier: PODSIPS_API_KEY (friendly alias: podsips)
• Display name: "PodSips"
• Description: "Podcast transcript search API — get timestamped clips by topic"
• Store it in the Keychain alongside the other keys
• Expose it to the skill runtime so skills can access the value via host (e.g. host.getApiKey("podsips") or similar pattern — match however existing keys are exposed to the skill runtime)

#``# Part 2: Create the PodSips Podcast Search Skill

Create a new skill at Workspace/Skills/podsips_search/ that:

Name: podsips_search

Description: Search podcast transcripts by topic and get back timestamped clips with speaker names, episode metadata, and context. Powered by PodSips API.

Parameters:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Natural-language topic or idea to search for across podcast transcripts (e.g. 'AI safety', 'founding lessons from Stripe', 'mental models for decision making')"
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Max number of results to return. Default 5.",
      "default": 5
    }
  },
  "required": ["query"]
}

API Details (PodSips REST API):

• Base URL: https://api.podsips.com/api/v1
• Search endpoint: GET /search?q={query} — returns timestamped transcript chunks with speaker names, episode metadata
• Series search: GET /series/search?q={query}
• Episode details: GET /episodes/{id}
• Full transcript: GET /transcript/{episode_id}
• Auth: Bearer token via PODSIPS_API_KEY
• Docs: https://developer.podsips.com/

Skill behavior:

1. R... (989 chars truncated...)
