Add KrakenKeys to Plugin Store

Show the best deal through KrakenKeys for the game you are currently viewing in the Steam Store. The plugin adds two compact buttons to the control strip inside Game Mode:

  • Lowest price button – Links straight to the active store offer (disabled when Steam already has the best price).
  • “X deals” button – Opens the KrakenKeys game page so players can compare every storefront.

All lookups are performed live against the public KrakenKeys API, and you can optionally exclude key shops with a toggle in the plugin settings.

Features:

  • Detects the current Steam AppID
  • Calls https://krakenkeys.com/api/v1/steam-deck/deal with the AppID, detected currency (GBP/EUR/USD, default USD), and the key-shop preference.
  • Automatically disables the “best price” button when Steam is already cheapest.
  • Overlay that fits inside the control strip and respects Steam’s UI layout.

This plugin is similar to IsThereAnyDeal Plugin. Rather than using ITAD, it uses KrakenKeys. This means the data comes from a different source, and the deals cover a wider range of stores. The user also has the ability to toggle keyshops on and off.

Keyshop links are not ethically comfortable for the Decky Loader team to host on the plugin store per a decision made here. If the plugin is edited to disable keyshop links with no way to enable them, we will review this PR. You're welcome to make a branch specific to the plugin store and PR with that. That way, you don't need to edit your plugin as a whole for non-plugin store use.

There may be more changes requested, but I wanted to start with the most important issue.

Noted - thank you. I'll update the plugin to only retrieve official storefronts data. Appreciate the heads up!
