chore: regenerate client SDKs after Vertex AI support

When using pytorch index for faster torch downloads in CI,
filelock dependency resolution was failing because pytorch index
only has older versions. Adding unsafe-best-match strategy allows
uv to search all configured indexes.

Also fix type checking warnings from ty.

 ## What is Hindsight?
 
-Hindsight™ is an agent memory system built to create smarter agents that learn over time. It eliminates the shortcomings of alternative techniques such as RAG and knowledge graph and delivers state-of-the-art performance on long term memory tasks.
+Hindsight™ is an agent memory system built to create smarter agents that learn over time. Most agent memory systems focus on recalling conversation history. Hindsight is focused on making agents that learn, not just remember.
 
-Hindsight addresses common challenges that have frustrated AI engineers building agents to automate tasks and assist users with conversational interfaces. Many of these challenges stem directly from a lack of memory.
 
-- **Inconsistency:** Agents complete tasks successfully one time, then fail when asked to complete the same task again. Memory gives the agent a mechanism to remember what worked and what didn't and to use that information to reduce errors and improve consistency.
-- **Hallucinations:** Long term memory can be seeded with external knowledge to ground agent behavior in reliable sources to augment training data.
-- **Cognitive Overload:** As workflows get complex, retrievals, tool calls, user messages and agent responses can grow to fill the context window leading to context rot. Short term memory optimization allows agents to reduce tokens and focus context by removing irrelevant details.

-## How is Hindsight Different From Other Memory Systems?
-
-![Overview](./hindsight-docs/static/img/hindsight-overview.webp)
-
-Most agent memory implementation rely on basic vector search or sometimes use a knowledge graph. Hindsight uses biomimetic data structures to organize agent memories in a way that is more like how human memory works:
-
-- **World:** Facts about the world ("The stove gets hot")
-- **Experiences:** Agent's own experiences ("I touched the stove and it really hurt")
-- **Opinion:** Beliefs with confidence scores ("I shouldn't touch the stove again" - .99 confidence)
-- **Observation:** Complex mental models derived by reflecting on facts and experiences ("Curling irons, ovens, and fire are also hot. I shouldn't touch those either.")
-
-Memories in Hindsight are stored in banks (i.e. memory banks). When memories are added to Hindsight, they are pushed into either the world facts or experiences memory pathway. They are then represented as a combination of entities, relationships, and time series with sparse/dense vector representations to aid in later recall.
-
-Hindsight provides three simple methods to interact with the system:
-
-- **Retain:** Provide information to Hindsight that you want it to remember
-- **Recall:** Retrieve memories from Hindsight
-- **Reflect:** Reflect on memories and experiences to generate new observations and insights from existing memories.
-
-### Agent Memory That Learns
-
-A key goal of Hindsight is to build agent memory that enables agents to learn and improve over time. This is the role of the `reflect` operation which provides the agent to form broader opinions and observations over time.
-
-For example, imagine a product support agent that is helping a user troubleshoot a problem. It uses a `search-documentation` tool it found on an MCP server. Later in the conversation, the agent discovers that the documentation returned from the tool wasn't for the product the user was asking about. The agent now has an experience in its memory bank. And just like humans, we want that agent to learn from its experience.
-
-As the agent gains more experiences, `reflect` allows the agent to form observations about what worked, what didn't, and what to do differently the next time it encounters a similar task.

+
+## Adding Hindsight to Your AI Agents
+
+The easiest way use Hindsight with an existing agent is with the LLM Wrapper. You can add memory to your agent with 2 lines of code. That will swap your current LLM client out with the Hindsight wrapper. After that, memories will be stored and retrieved automatically as you make LLM calls.
+
+If you need more control over how and when your agent stores and recalls memories, there's also a simple API you can integrate with using the SDKs or directly via HTTP.

+## Use Cases
+
+
+Hindsight is built to support conversational AI agents as well as agents that are intended to perform tasks autonomously. The ideal use case for Hindsight are agents that require a blend of these features such as AI employees that need to handle open-ended tasks, change behavior based on user feedback, and learn to perform complex tasks to automate work at a level that approximates a human work. Hindsight can be used with simple AI workflows like those built with n8n and other similar tools, but may be overkill for such applications.
+
+### Per-User Memories and Chat History
+
+One of the simpler use cases you can use Hindsight for is to personalize AI chatbots and other conversational agents by storing and recalling memories associated with individual users.
+
+The requirements for this use case usually look something like this:

+<video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4805e8e1-e7d1-47c6-a4f8-2344a5ec8906" controls></video>
+
+Satisfying these requirements in Hindsight is straightforward. When new user inputs and tool calls are ingested into Hindsight using the retain operation, custom metadata can be used to enrich the new memories. Metadata provides a convenient way to isolate memories that need to be restricted to a given user. Once these are fed into the retain operation, any raw memories and mental models that get created can be filtered when retrieving relevant memories.

-Tags define visibility scopes. The fact and each observation have tags (can be empty = global).
-
-| Fact Tags | Obs Tags | Action |
-|-----------|----------|--------|
-| [alice] | [alice] | UPDATE the observation (same scope) |
-| [alice] | [] | UPDATE the observation (global absorbs all scopes) |
-| [alice] | [bob] | CREATE new untagged observation (cross-scope insight) |
-| [] | [alice] | UPDATE the observation (untagged facts can update any scope) |
-| [] | [] | UPDATE the observation (global to global) |
-
-When NO existing observation matches the fact's topic: CREATE new observation with fact's tags.
-
-## MULTIPLE ACTIONS:
-One fact can trigger MULTIPLE actions. For example:
-- Update a scoped observation [alice] about pizza preferences
-- AND update a global observation [] about pizza in general
-
-Output an ARRAY of actions (can be empty, one, or many).
-
 ## CRITICAL RULES:
 - NEVER merge facts about DIFFERENT people
 - NEVER merge unrelated topics (food preferences vs work vs hobbies)
 - When merging contradictions, capture the CHANGE (before → after)
 - Keep observations focused on ONE specific topic per person
-- Cross-scope insights (alice's fact about bob's topic) become UNTAGGED (global)
