README recommends DEEPSEEK_API_KEY but .env.example omits it (doc-vs-config drift) #517

Description

@chirag127

Problem

README Quick Start tells users to write DEEPSEEK_API_KEY into .env, but .env.example does not list that variable, so new users copying .env.example get an incomplete .env.

Steps

  1. Follow README Quick Start (line 69):
    echo "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your_key_here" > .env
    
  2. Compare with .env.example in repo root.

Expected

.env.example lists every API key the README promotes (DeepSeek is the featured provider on line 69 and line 226; also referenced on line 151 via --agent.model.name deepseek/deepseek-chat).

Actual

.env.example (verbatim) contains only:

MOATLESS_DIR=/tmp/moatless
REPO_DIR=/tmp/repos
INDEX_STORE_DIR=/tmp/moatless/index-store

VOYAGE_API_KEY=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=

TESTBED_API_KEY=
#TESTBED_BASE_URL=https://testbeds.moatless.ai

No DEEPSEEK_API_KEY entry.

Environment

Repo default branch main at commit as of 2025-09-23 push. README.md:69,226; .env.example root.

Thanks for maintaining JARVIS-Xs/SE-Agent!
