Quiet onboarding

Overhauls the new-user experience around a pull model: install → memem works silently in the background → user types /memem when they want the welcome + status. No more wall-of-text injection into the first user prompt.

Changed

• Auto-mine past sessions on first install. bootstrap.sh now checks ~/.claude/projects/ on first run and, if you have ≥5 prior Claude Code sessions, spawns memem.server --mine-all in the background. One-shot, idempotent via ~/.memem/.auto-mined marker. Converts new users from cold-start (0 memories) to warm-start on day one. Opt-out: MEMEM_NO_AUTO_MINE=1.
• No more welcome wall on first prompt. The auto-recall hook used to inject a ~40-line welcome (ASCII art + tool tutorials + Obsidian pitch + mine-history prompt) into the first UserPromptSubmit of a zero-memory session. That hijacked the user's actual first question. The hook now stays silent on zero memories — users learn about memem via /memem.
• /memem is now the welcome surface. Enriched the skill to show: bootstrap error (if any), ASCII banner, live status, auto-mine progress indicator, how-it-works, commands, MCP tools, and optional-Obsidian note. Pull model: user asks, gets everything in one place.
• Python auto-install. If system python3 is missing or older than 3.11, bootstrap now runs uv python install 3.11 and uses that for the plugin venv. No more hard bounces on Python 3.10.
• Bootstrap errors surface to chat. On any non-zero exit, the bootstrap shim writes ~/.memem/last-error.md. /memem reads this file and shows it prominently at the top when present. Clears on successful bootstrap.

Migration

No action required. Existing installs get the quiet-onboarding flow automatically on next session. Existing users with prior sessions will see a one-time background mine on their first v0.8.0 session unless MEMEM_NO_AUTO_MINE=1 is set.
