v0.9.17

OpenAI-compatible LLM provider lands the universal-adapter shape — one config (`OPENAI_API_KEY` + `OPENAI_BASE_URL` + `OPENAI_MODEL`) covers OpenAI, Azure OpenAI (auto-detected from hostname), DeepSeek, SiliconFlow, vLLM, LM Studio, Ollama (via `/v1`), and any future endpoint mirroring `POST /v1/chat/completions`. Worker telemetry now pins a stable `project_name` so engine metrics + traces attribute cleanly. agent-memory.dev Compare section no longer wraps awkwardly.

## Added

- **OpenAI-compatible LLM provider** (#307, @fatinghenji). Closes #185, #232 (Ollama works via `OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1`), #312, supersedes #240.

- **Azure OpenAI auto-detection**. `.openai.azure.com` hostname → swaps `Authorization: Bearer` for `api-key`, drops `/v1` path prefix, appends `api-version=<version>` query (default `2024-08-01-preview`, override via `OPENAI_API_VERSION`).

- **`OPENAI_TIMEOUT_MS`** env var. AbortController-bounded fetch, default 60s, clear timeout error with the env-var hint. Other raw-fetch providers tracked in #373.

- **`OPENAI_REASONING_EFFORT`** passthrough. Forwarded as `reasoning_effort` on the request body for OpenAI reasoning models (o1, o3, gpt-*-reasoning) and providers that mirror that schema. Standard chat models reject the field with 400 — README documents the caveat. Falls back to `message.reasoning` when `message.content` is empty (Ollama Cloud thinking-model shape).

## Changed

- **`telemetry.project_name` pinned to `"agentmemory"`** (#426). iii-sdk auto-detection produces inconsistent identifiers per host (`agentmemory`, `node`, `npm`, occasionally the user's home dir basename via npx). Pinning gives every install the same stable identifier in engine metrics + traces. Also pins `language` and `framework`.

- **`OPENAI_API_KEY_FOR_LLM=false` opt-out**. `detectLlmProviderKind` now mirrors `detectProvider`'s existing gate — users who set `OPENAI_API_KEY` only for embeddings won't see the LLM auto-activate. README leads with an explicit shared-use callout.

- **Compare section** (#427). Title `AGENTMEMORY VS. THE FIELD.` → `VS. THE FIELD.` (eyebrow already says VS.). `text-wrap: balance` globally on `.section-title`. `NATIVE PLUGINS` cell `6 (Claude/Codex/OpenClaw/Hermes/pi/OpenHuman)` → `6` (names already shown in Agents grid). Row grid rebalanced + `word-break: break-word` + 24px padding so cells like `YES (APACHE-2.0)` have breathing room.

## Install

```bash
npm install -g @agentmemory/agentmemory@0.9.17
