📄 Description

Summary

Adds the X-Pplx-Integration attribution header to outgoing requests from the existing Perplexity web search integrations (perplexity.py chat-completions citation search and perplexity_search.py direct Search API). The header follows the standard slug/version pattern (open-webui/<VERSION>) so Perplexity can attribute traffic to the Open WebUI integration for support, telemetry, and reliability work.

This is a small, no-behavior-change patch: the HTTP call sites are untouched apart from one extra header field, and the version is sourced from the existing open_webui.env.VERSION constant so it stays in sync with the package automatically.

Changes

backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/perplexity.py: import VERSION, set X-Pplx-Integration: open-webui/<VERSION> on the chat-completions request.
backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/perplexity_search.py: import VERSION, set the same header on the Search API request (added before the optional user-info merge so it survives any downstream header munging).

Testing

Verified both modules parse cleanly (ast.parse).
No new dependencies; no config or schema changes; no UI surface touched.
git diff --stat shows 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+).
