fix(plugins): stamp surface identity at record time, not send time

Six defects in 0.3.x plugin telemetry. Defects 1, 2 and 6 were not three bugs:
they were one spool protocol getting three properties wrong.

Identity was decided by the wrong process. `harness` was stamped in record(),
correctly, but `source` was read from a module global in flush() — so whichever
process drained the spool named every event in it. Two processes never call
init(): mcp_server.py, and the detached `python3 telemetry.py` sender that
spawn_flush() starts. record() now stamps source beside harness, and the build
generates core/_harness_id.py per host so identity resolves with no init() call
at all. That also unifies two defaults that disagreed (`<host>_plugin` vs
`MEM0_<HOST>_PLUGIN`), which could yield three source values for one plugin.

Ownership was inferred, not held. Path.replace is os.rename, which preserves
mtime, so a claim made after a quiet minute inherited the spool's age and was
stealable the instant it existed. Claims are touched on creation and the
per-batch rewrite doubles as a lease heartbeat.

Progress was not durable. flush() returned on the first failed batch without
truncating, so the retry re-posted from index 0 — 150 events delivered 250
times. It now rewrites the claim with the unsent remainder after every batch,
bounding a crash to one repeated batch, and each event carries a uuid.

Parked batches starved. They were only reachable when no spool existed, and
because sessions keep recording there usually was one, so a batch parked by a
failed send waited until the 7-day expiry deleted it unsent — despite its own
presence being what starts the sender. flush() drains them in the same run, and
expiry now applies only after a genuine retry has failed.

code.install counted upgrades and repeat sessions. is_first_run() read the
identity file, which only a successful flush writes, so an offline user recorded
an install every session forever. A dedicated install-state.json is claimed
atomically at record time; a non-empty data directory reads as an upgrade.

The docs called this anonymous. Every event carries the account email, and the
hashes were unsalted SHA-256 over a git remote URL or an absolute path
containing the username. READMEs, the module docstring and a new docs section
now say what the code does, and repo/session digests are salted per install.

A cached email outlived an API key change. It is now re-resolved when the key's
fingerprint differs, and $identify aliases anonymous->email only — aliasing one
account to another merges person profiles irreversibly.

All six shipped green because the shared core's only tests lived under one host,
behind a conftest that calls init() at import. Core behaviour was never
exercised uninitialised. Adds agent-plugin-core/tests with no init, including
subprocess tests and coverage for the portable plugin, which has no flush worker
and would pass a native-only test vacuously.

Also puts the three surface headers on the SDKs, CLIs and integrations, and
corrects a README claiming ZAPIER/STRANDS were already in the platform allowlist.

Verified: 59 core tests, 203 claude-code, 11 cursor, 5 codex, 2 kimi, 6
antigravity. ruff and compileall clean. --check clean for all six hosts.

## Telemetry
The plugin sends usage events (which hook ran, timing, result counts, failure
types) so Mem0 can see what's used and what's breaking.
These events are **not anonymous**. When an API key is configured, which
installing the plugin requires, they are sent under your Mem0 account email,
the same way the Python SDK and the CLI attribute theirs. Without a key they
are sent under a random per-machine id.
Each event carries the event name, the plugin version, the harness it ran in,
your OS and Python version, timings, counts, and a coarse failure label.
Repository and session identifiers are hashed with a random salt generated on
your machine and never sent, so they cannot be linked back to a repository name
or path.
Prompts, memory text, queries, file paths, repository names, and API keys are
never sent.
