fix(plugins): read the mem0 CLI key and ignore unexpanded host placeholders

The Python plugin core and the opencode, pi and deepseek plugins now fall back to the key `mem0 init` saves in ~/.mem0/config.json, so a configured CLI is enough to authenticate. The Python core also stops using or caching a literal ${api_key} left behind when a host (Cursor) does not expand its plugin variables, which is what kept asking for auth after the key was set.

Fixes #7346

<Tip>
Already set up the [Mem0 CLI](/platform/cli) with `mem0 init`? The extension also reads the key it saved in `~/.mem0/config.json`, so you can skip this step. `MEM0_API_KEY` and `apiKey` in `mem0-config.json` take precedence.

## Troubleshooting
- **"No API key found"**: Verify `MEM0_API_KEY` is set: `echo $MEM0_API_KEY`. If empty, add it to your shell profile (see Prerequisites)
- **"No API key found"**: Verify `MEM0_API_KEY` is set: `echo $MEM0_API_KEY`. If empty, add it to your shell profile (see Prerequisites) or run `mem0 init`
- **Extension not loading**: Check Pi startup output for errors. For a source checkout, run `pnpm build`, then `pi -e ./dist/entry.js` from the plugin directory
- **Memories not capturing**: Verify `autoCapture` is `true` (default). Check `/mem0-status` for connection health
- **Wrong project detected**: The plugin uses the git repository root as `app_id`. If not in a git repo, it falls back to the working directory name. Run `/mem0-status` to see the detected project
