steve 7f4decee26 Reindex command, implicit note shorthand, add→addfile rename
- Add `kb reindex` command with confirmation prompt and --yes flag
- Add implicit note shorthand: `kb "my note"` submits a note directly
- Rename `add` to `addfile`, remove --note/--title/--type flags
- Add client-side file extension validation before upload
- Add `kb examples` command for common usage patterns
- Update README, SKILL.md, and main specs
- Archive completed changes and sync delta specs

BREAKING: `kb add` renamed to `kb addfile`, `kb add --note` replaced by `kb "text"`

## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Engine version compatibility check
The client SHALL verify that the connected engine meets a minimum version requirement before executing any API command. The minimum required engine version SHALL be embedded in the client binary at build time. If the engine version is below the minimum, the client SHALL print an error message and exit with a non-zero code. There SHALL be no flag to skip or suppress this check.
#### Scenario: Compatible engine version
- **WHEN** the client connects to an engine reporting version `2.1.5` and `MinEngineVersion` is `2.1.0`
- **THEN** the client SHALL proceed with the command normally
#### Scenario: Incompatible engine version
- **WHEN** the client connects to an engine reporting version `2.0.3` and `MinEngineVersion` is `2.1.0`
- **THEN** the client SHALL print to stderr: `Error: kb client vX.Y.Z requires engine v2.1.0+ (connected engine is v2.0.3)` followed by an upgrade hint, and exit with code 1
#### Scenario: Engine unreachable during version check
- **WHEN** the client cannot reach the engine's `/api/v1/status` endpoint
- **THEN** the client SHALL skip the version check and proceed with the original command (the actual API call will surface the connectivity error)
#### Scenario: Version check is cached per session
- **WHEN** the client has already verified engine compatibility during the current invocation
- **THEN** subsequent API calls within the same invocation SHALL NOT repeat the version check
#### Scenario: Client version command does not check engine
- **WHEN** the user runs `kb --version`
- **THEN** the client SHALL print the client version without contacting the engine
#### Scenario: MinEngineVersion not set
- **WHEN** the client binary has `MinEngineVersion` set to empty string or `dev`
- **THEN** the client SHALL skip the version check entirely (development builds)
---
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Single static binary with zero runtime dependencies
The Go client SHALL compile to a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. It SHALL support cross-compilation for Linux (amd64, arm64), macOS (amd64, arm64), and Windows (amd64). The build SHALL inject both `Version` and `MinEngineVersion` via ldflags.
#### Scenario: Install on a clean machine
- **WHEN** a user downloads the `kb` binary for their platform
- **THEN** they SHALL be able to run it immediately with no additional installs (no Python, no Docker, no shared libraries)
#### Scenario: Version and compatibility info embedded at build time
- **WHEN** the client is built with `make all VERSION=2.1.0 MIN_ENGINE_VERSION=2.0.0`
- **THEN** `kb --version` SHALL report `2.1.0` and the compatibility check SHALL use `2.0.0` as the minimum engine version
