Saket Aryan 0d37619f24 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.

"""Usage telemetry for Mem0 agent plugins.
Events are linked to your Mem0 account email when an API key is configured, and
to a random per-machine id otherwise. Not anonymous — the Python SDK and CLI
attribute the same way.
Hooks run on a 3-6 second budget and fire on every tool call, so recording never
touches the network: `record` appends one JSON line to a local spool and returns.
A detached `python3 telemetry.py` drains the spool in one batched PostHog request,
started once per session and again from the flush worker that is already detached.
Pure stdlib, matching the rest of the plugin. Opt out with MEM0_TELEMETRY=false.
Never sends prompts, memory text, queries, file paths, repository names, or API
keys: only event names, durations, counts, coarse outcomes, and repo/session
identifiers hashed with a random per-install salt.
