fix(test): mark test_retain_chinese_content as xfail due to non-deterministic LLM translation

Both Python and Go client generation now use --platform linux/amd64
Docker, ensuring identical output on macOS arm64 (local) and Linux
amd64 (CI). Also switches Go from JAR+Java to Docker to eliminate
Java version variability.

+### observation_scopes
+
+Controls which [observations](../observations) this memory contributes to during consolidation. Each scope runs an independent pass, creating or updating observations tagged with only that scope's tags.
+
+:::info Scope isolation
+During consolidation, Hindsight uses `all_strict` matching to find existing observations to update — only observations whose tags exactly match the current scope are considered. This keeps scopes isolated: a memory consolidated under `["student:alice"]` will never bleed into an observation tagged `["student:alice", "teacher:bob"]`.
+:::
+
+The examples below use a lesson transcript retained with `tags: ["student:alice", "teacher:bob", "session-id:s1"]`.
+
+#### combined *(default)*
+
+One consolidation pass using all tags together. The resulting observation is tagged with the full set.
+
+- Observations created: `["student:alice", "teacher:bob", "session-id:s1"]`
+- ✗ *"What does Alice struggle with across all her sessions?"* — no match, because no observation was ever built for `student:alice` alone
+- ✗ *"How does Bob teach?"* — no match for `teacher:bob` alone
+- ✓ *"What happened in session s1 with Alice and Bob?"* — exact match
+
+**Use when** the memory is meaningful only as a whole and you never need to query any single tag in isolation.
+
+#### per_tag
+
+One consolidation pass per individual tag. Each tag gets its own isolated observation that grows with every new memory sharing that tag.
+
+- Observations created: `["student:alice"]` · `["teacher:bob"]` · `["session-id:s1"]`
+- ✓ *"What does Alice struggle with across all her sessions?"*
+- ✓ *"How does Bob teach?"*
+- ✓ *"What happened in session s1?"*
+- ✗ *"How does Alice perform specifically with Bob?"* — no observation for the `["student:alice", "teacher:bob"]` combination
+- ✗ *"How does Bob teach in online sessions?"* — no observation for `["teacher:bob", "session-id:s1"]`
+
+**Use when** content involves multiple tags that each represent an independent subject — the most common choice for multi-party content like conversations, lessons, or support sessions.
+
+#### all_combinations
+
+One pass per subset of tags — singles, pairs, triples, and so on. For 3 tags that is 7 passes.
+
+- Observations created: all `"per_tag"` scopes above, plus `["student:alice", "teacher:bob"]` · `["student:alice", "session-id:s1"]` · `["teacher:bob", "session-id:s1"]` · `["student:alice", "teacher:bob", "session-id:s1"]`
+- ✓ All questions from `"per_tag"` above
+- ✓ *"How does Alice perform specifically with Bob?"* — matched by `["student:alice", "teacher:bob"]`
+
+**Use when** you need observations at every granularity — per tag, per pair, per group.
+
+#### custom
+
+Pass an explicit list of tag sets. Each inner list is one scope.
+
+```json
+[["student:alice"], ["teacher:bob"], ["teacher:bob", "session-id:s1"]]
+```
+
+- Observations created: exactly those three scopes — nothing more
+- ✓ *"What does Alice struggle with?"*
+- ✓ *"How does Bob teach?"*
+- ✓ *"How does Bob teach in session s1 specifically?"*
+- ✗ *"What happened in session s1 regardless of teacher?"* — `["session-id:s1"]` alone was not included
+
+**Use when** you know exactly which combinations are meaningful and want to avoid unnecessary passes.

+## Observation Scopes
+
+By default, observations are scoped to all of a memory's tags combined. The `observation_scopes` retain parameter lets you control this — building separate observations per tag, per combination, or with a custom list of scopes. This is key when a single memory carries multiple tags and you want each tag to accumulate its own observations independently.
+
+See [`observation_scopes` in the Retain API](./api/retain#observation_scopes) for the full explanation and options.

 ## Observations Mission
 
 You can define exactly what this bank should synthesise by setting an **observations mission** (`observations_mission`). This replaces the built-in durable-knowledge rules with your own instructions, letting you control what shape observations take.
