Rohit Ghumare f365d38c75 docs(python): iii-sdk example replaces standalone REST client (#364)
Closes #342.

agentmemory functions register as mem::remember, mem::observe,
mem::context, mem::smart-search, mem::forget via sdk.registerFunction.
iii-sdk already ships in Python, Rust, and Node — any of them can call
those functions directly over the iii WebSocket transport. A standalone
Python REST client would duplicate the transport layer and fragment the
cross-language story.

This patch adds:
- examples/python/quickstart.py — minimal save + smart-search loop.
- examples/python/observe_and_recall.py — observation ingest + context
  rendering at a token budget.
- examples/python/README.md — function map + install + usage.
- README "Programmatic access (Python / Rust / Node)" section pointing
  at the example and the three SDK install commands.

REST on :3111 is unchanged for hosts without an iii runtime.

# Python usage via `iii-sdk`
agentmemory registers its core operations as iii functions (`mem::remember`,
`mem::observe`, `mem::context`, `mem::smart-search`, `mem::forget`). Any
language with an iii SDK can call them directly over the WebSocket transport
on `ws://localhost:49134` — no separate REST client needed.
This example uses the official Python SDK.
## Install
```bash
pip install iii-sdk
```
## Quickstart
Start the agentmemory daemon (defaults to `ws://localhost:49134`, REST on
`:3111`):
```bash
npx -y @agentmemory/agentmemory
```
Then from Python:
```python
from iii import register_worker
iii = register_worker("ws://localhost:49134")
iii.connect()
iii.trigger({
"function_id": "mem::remember",
"payload": {
"project": "demo",
"title": "auth-stack",
"content": "Service uses HMAC bearer tokens; refresh every 24h.",
"concepts": ["auth", "hmac", "refresh"],
},
})
hits = iii.trigger({
"function_id": "mem::smart-search",
"payload": {"project": "demo", "query": "how do tokens refresh", "limit": 5},
})
print(hits)
```
## Functions exposed
| Function id | Purpose | Required payload |
|---|---|---|
| `mem::remember` | Save a memory | `project`, `title`, `content` |
| `mem::observe` | Hook-driven observation ingest | `hookType`, `sessionId`, `project`, `cwd`, `timestamp` |
| `mem::context` | Render context for a session under a token budget | `sessionId`, `project`, optional `budget` |
| `mem::smart-search` | Hybrid BM25 + vector + concept recall | `project`, `query`, optional `limit` |
| `mem::forget` | Delete a memory by id | `id` |
The HTTP-trigger wrappers under `api::*` (callable via REST on `:3111`) exist
for the same operations if you need to reach the daemon from a host without an
iii runtime. Inside the iii ecosystem, calling the `mem::*` functions directly
is lower latency.
## Files
- `quickstart.py` — minimal save-then-search loop.
- `observe_and_recall.py` — observation ingest + context rendering at a token
budget.
Both scripts assume the daemon is already running.
