feat: add @vectorize-io/hindsight-all daemon lifecycle package (#949)
* feat: add @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed daemon lifecycle package

Create a new top-level `hindsight-embed-npm/` package that owns the daemon
lifecycle for the Python `hindsight-embed` CLI: spawning via `uvx`, writing
the profile, waiting for `/health`, and shutting down. Nothing more.

Deliberately does not ship an HTTP client — `@vectorize-io/hindsight-client`
already covers retain / recall / reflect / createBank against the Hindsight
API, and the two packages compose: once `manager.start()` returns, consumers
talk to the daemon via `new HindsightClient({ baseUrl: manager.getBaseUrl() })`.

`HindsightEmbedManagerOptions.env` forwards an arbitrary `Record<string,
string>` to both the daemon process and the profile config via `--env K=V`,
and `extraProfileCreateArgs` / `extraDaemonStartArgs` escape hatches cover
any new CLI flag without waiting for a wrapper release.

Refactor `hindsight-integrations/openclaw` to consume both packages:
`HindsightEmbedManager` for daemon lifecycle in local mode, `HindsightClient`
for all HTTP memory operations. Drop the bespoke subprocess/HTTP client that
used to live in openclaw. The retain queue stays local to openclaw (it's a
client-side reliability workaround with a single consumer today — will move
to the client package or server-side when a second consumer needs it).

Wire the new package into the main release pipeline (versioned alongside
the other core packages, published from `v*` tags) and add a CI build job.

* docs: add Embedded Node.js SDK page for @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed

* refactor: rename hindsight-embed-npm to hindsight-all, restructure docs sidebar

The Node package previously named @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed was
semantically misnamed: hindsight-embed (Python) is a CLI tool, while what
this Node package actually provides is the Node equivalent of hindsight-all
— a programmatic lifecycle manager for a local Hindsight daemon. Rename to
match.

Package rename
  - hindsight-embed-npm/ → hindsight-all-npm/ (git mv, history preserved)
  - @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed → @vectorize-io/hindsight-all
  - class HindsightEmbedManager → HindsightServer (matches Python hindsight-all)
  - HindsightEmbedManagerOptions → HindsightServerOptions
  - src/manager.ts → src/server.ts, src/manager.test.ts → src/server.test.ts
  - openclaw (index.ts, backfill.ts, tests) and the claude-code Python port
    updated to reference the new names

Docs restructure
  - Split sdks/python.md: now client-only content. New sdks/hindsight-all.md
    covers the programmatic hindsight-all Python package (HindsightServer and
    HindsightEmbedded).
  - Rename sdks/embed-npm.md → sdks/hindsight-all-npm.md with HindsightServer
    examples.
  - New "Installation" sidebar section, placed after Hosting, containing
    Docker / Kubernetes / Bare Metal (anchor links into developer/installation)
    plus Programmatic API (Python), Programmatic API (Node.js), and Daemon CLI.
  - Add si-docker, si-kubernetes, si-nodedotjs, lu-hard-drive to the sidebar
    ICON_MAP.

Docs dev-server fix
  - docusaurus.config.ts: drop the flaky NODE_ENV sniff for including the
    "Next" version. Use INCLUDE_CURRENT_VERSION exclusively. NODE_ENV was
    unreliable across hot-reload paths and caused the Next version to
    disappear intermittently when editing files.
  - scripts/dev/start-docs.sh: export INCLUDE_CURRENT_VERSION=true so local
    dev always shows Next; production builds leave it unset.

Lockfile cleanup
  - package-lock.json and hindsight-integrations/openclaw/package-lock.json
    had extraneous hindsight-embed-npm blocks left over from the rename.
    Removed manually and verified with npm install.

* ci: fix openclaw jobs by pre-building workspace deps; regenerate docs-skill

The build-openclaw-integration and test-openclaw-integration jobs failed
with "Failed to resolve entry for package @vectorize-io/hindsight-all"
because openclaw depends on two monorepo workspaces via `file:` deps
(@vectorize-io/hindsight-client and @vectorize-io/hindsight-all) whose
`dist/` directories are gitignored and never built before openclaw's npm ci.
Both jobs now install the root workspace and build the two deps first,
mirroring the release-control-plane pattern.

Also regenerate skills/hindsight-docs/references/* via
./scripts/generate-docs-skill.sh:
  - new skill pages for sdks/hindsight-all{.md,-npm.md}
  - updated skill pages for sdks/embed.md and sdks/python.md to match
    the new H1s and split content
  - incidental refreshes to changelog/index.md, developer/models.md,
    openapi.json, and uv.lock that verify-generated-files picked up

* ci: build openclaw before running tests so symlink test can realpath dist
