Perplexity Agent catalog is out of sync with GET /v1/models #5630

Description

Problem

The perplexity-agent catalog in api.json has 22 entries, while Perplexity's authenticated GET /v1/models returned 45 Agent API model IDs on 2026-08-27. Only 15 IDs overlapped exactly.

Perplexity documents this endpoint as the source for dynamic model discovery:
https://docs.perplexity.ai/api-reference/models-get

IDs returned by Perplexity but missing from models.dev

Several missing/stale pairs appear to be namespace changes, for example moonshot-ai/kimi-k3 versus the currently callable perplexity/kimi-k3. Exact IDs matter because the models.dev README says consumers should use the Model ID for lookup, and Perplexity accepts the IDs returned by this endpoint.

The separate perplexity catalog also omits the two embedding models, but that appears to be part of the schema limitation tracked in #572.
