ci: finalize test for the documentation code (#57)
* Fix main-methods.py: entities is a dict, use .items() and .canonical_name

* Migrate docs to use CodeSnippet components

- Convert quickstart.md, retain.md, recall.md, reflect.md, memory-banks.md to .mdx
- Use CodeSnippet to pull code from validated example scripts
- Add missing 'name' parameter to create_bank calls
- Fix main-methods.py entities iteration (dict not list)
- Remove retain-new.mdx demo file

* Migrate existing docs to match testing pattern with code snippet and add CLI tests to the CI

* Fix doc-id issue + add main-method tests

* CLI fixes

* Update openAPI json

* Fix rust build issues

* increase sleep time for Hindsight to process the document

* Added a polling sleep instead of fixed

* Delete immediately fails, so create the doc a earlier in the test to get the doc ready

* Add debug logs

* Remove debug logs

:::tip LLM Provider
Hindsight requires an LLM with structured output support. Recommended: **Groq** with `gpt-oss-20b` for fast, cost-effective inference.
See [LLM Providers](/developer/models#llm) for more details.

## What's Happening
| Operation | What it does |
|-----------|--------------|
| **Retain** | Content is processed, facts are extracted, entities are identified and linked in a knowledge graph |
| **Recall** | Four search strategies (semantic, keyword, graph, temporal) run in parallel to find relevant memories |
| **Reflect** | Retrieved memories are used to generate a disposition-aware response |
---
## Next Steps
- [**Retain**](./retain) — Advanced options for storing memories
- [**Recall**](./recall) — Search and retrieval strategies
- [**Reflect**](./reflect) — Disposition-aware reasoning
- [**Memory Banks**](./memory-banks) — Configure disposition and background
- [**Server Deployment**](/developer/installation) — Docker Compose, Helm, and production setup
