fix(plugins): say what telemetry actually sends, and salt the hashes
The plugin README promises "anonymous usage events" and the telemetry module's docstring says it sends only "salted hashes". Neither is true. resolve_distinct_id() exchanges the API key for the account email and sends that as the distinct_id on every event. Installing the plugin requires an API key, so this is nearly every user. That is probably the behaviour we want — the Python SDK and the CLI attribute the same way — but the description has to match it. repo_hash and session_hash were unsalted SHA-256 cut to 16 hex characters. repo.identity is a git remote URL, or `local:<absolute path>` when there is no remote, which normally contains the account username. Sixteen unsalted hex characters over that input space is enumerable, so the hash was not a privacy control at all. Salted per install, with the salt kept in the identity file. That preserves every within-account join the analytics actually use and gives up only cross-machine joins on the same repository, which nothing computes. Since the distinct_id is already the email, the hash was never buying privacy from us — only from whoever obtains the data later, which is exactly what the salt fixes. Also corrects deepseek-plugin's README and source comment, which told readers ZAPIER and STRANDS were already in the backend's KNOWN_EVENT_SOURCES allowlist. Neither was. Adds a Telemetry section to docs/integrations/claude-code.mdx, which had none. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01C7tEmH86HAr7GoAAKCEHZb

The store sends usage events (store configuration, operation, duration, result

configured they are sent under your Mem0 account email, the same way the SDK

attributes its own. Queries, memory text, message content, entity ids, and
