feat(embed): add programmatic UI (control plane) management (#683)
* feat(embed): add programmatic UI (control plane) management

Add ability to start/stop the web UI from hindsight-embed, with
configurable port (default: daemon_port + 10000) and hostname
(default: 0.0.0.0). Uses npx to run the published control plane
package, or node directly in dev mode.

New CLI commands:
  hindsight-embed ui start [--port PORT] [--hostname HOST]
  hindsight-embed ui stop [--port PORT]
  hindsight-embed ui status [--port PORT]
  hindsight-embed ui logs [-f] [-n N]

New programmatic API:
  daemon_client.start_ui(profile, ui_port, hostname)
  daemon_client.stop_ui(profile, ui_port)
  daemon_client.is_ui_running(profile, ui_port)
  daemon_client.get_ui_url(profile, ui_port)

* feat(embed): expose UI management on HindsightEmbedded

Add start_ui(), stop_ui(), is_ui_running(), and ui_url property
to HindsightEmbedded so the UI can be started programmatically:

  client = HindsightEmbedded(profile="myapp", ...)
  client.start_ui()  # starts daemon + UI
  print(client.ui_url)

"""
Embedded Hindsight client with automatic daemon lifecycle management.
This module provides HindsightEmbedded, a client that uses the same daemon
management interface as hindsight-embed CLI, ensuring full compatibility.
Example:
```python
from hindsight import HindsightEmbedded
# Daemon starts automatically on first use
client = HindsightEmbedded(
profile="myapp",
llm_provider="groq",
llm_api_key="your-api-key",
)
# Use just like HindsightClient
client.retain(bank_id="alice", content="Alice loves AI")
results = client.recall(bank_id="alice", query="What does Alice like?")
# Optional cleanup
client.close()
```
Using context manager:
```python
from hindsight import HindsightEmbedded
with HindsightEmbedded(profile="myapp") as client:
client.retain(bank_id="alice", content="Alice loves AI")
# Daemon managed automatically
```
