docs(api): SDK, tools and CLI status in the v5 migration guide

- New "SDKs, tools and the CLI" section: TypeScript SDK is v5 from
  5.0.0-rc.5 (earlier RCs still v3/v4), Python SDK and @supermemory/tools
  still on v3/v4, CLI and `supermemory local` unaffected; v4 -> v5 SDK
  call map and dropped methods, linking the SDK's MIGRATION.md
- Link /v5/reference and /reference to api.supermemory.ai
- List conversation ingestion and container-tag merges as having no v5
  replacement

- Direct memory creation and version updates: ingest or replace a source document instead.
- Organization bucket suggestion and organization reset: not part of the v5 public surface.
- Connector routes that still use `/v3`: unchanged; do not rewrite them.
- Conversation ingestion (`/v4/conversations`): not part of the v5 public surface. Send the transcript as a document instead.
- Container-tag merges: not part of the v5 public surface.
Use `/v5/reference` for the stable v5 reference. `/reference` always points to the latest public version.

This is a breaking API migration. Do not change only the URL: fields moved, search defaults changed, response envelopes changed, and some legacy operations have no v5 replacement.
</Warning>
The API base URL and bearer keys do not change. v5 application routes are unversioned; `/v5/reference` identifies the documentation version, not an API path prefix.
The API base URL and bearer keys do not change. v5 application routes are unversioned; [`/v5/reference`](https://api.supermemory.ai/v5/reference) is the interactive v5 reference, not an API path prefix.

Check which client you call the API through before you translate requests. Not every client supports v5 yet.
| Client | v5 support | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| TypeScript SDK (`supermemory` on npm) | `5.0.0-rc.5` and later | Install `supermemory@rc` and follow the SDK changes below. Release candidates before `rc.5` still use the v3/v4 surface. |
| Python SDK (`supermemory` on PyPI) | Not yet | The 3.x SDK calls v3/v4. Call v5 over HTTP as shown in this guide, or keep the SDK on v3/v4 until a v5 release ships. |
| `@supermemory/tools` (AI SDK, OpenAI and agent integrations) | Not yet | These call v3/v4 (`/v4/profile`, `/v4/conversations`). No change needed today. |
| CLI (`npx supermemory`) and `supermemory local` | Unchanged | The CLI calls v3/v4 directly and keeps working. No change needed. |
### TypeScript SDK changes
The v5 SDK scopes every content call to one `namespace` and moves the payload under `body`:
```ts
import Supermemory from "supermemory";
const client = new Supermemory(); // reads SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY, as before
// v4
await client.add({ content: "Alex prefers morning meetings.", containerTag: "user_alex" });
// v5
await client.add({
namespace: "user_alex",
body: { content: "Alex prefers morning meetings." },
});
```
| v4 | v5 |
| --- | --- |
| `client.search.memories({ q, containerTag })` | `client.search({ namespace, body: { query } })` |
| `client.profile({ containerTag, q })` | `client.profile({ namespace })`, plus `client.search` in parallel if you need results |
| `client.documents.list(...)`, `client.memories.list(...)` | `client.list({ namespace, type })` |
| `client.containerTags.*` | `client.namespaces.*` |
| `client.settings.{get, update}` | `client.organization.{get, update}` |
| Errors per status (`RateLimitError`, …) | One `SupermemoryError`; branch on `statusCode` |
| Retries on by default | Retries are opt-in through `retryConfig` |
| `timeout` | `timeoutMs` |
The v5 SDK drops methods that have no v5 endpoint: `connections`, `conversations.add`, `settings.{reset, suggestBuckets}`, `containerTags.{merge, mergeStatus}`, `memories.{add, updateMemory}`, and `documents.{listProcessing, chunks, fileUrl, search}`. Stay on `supermemory@4` for those calls.
The full method map is in the SDK's [migration guide](https://github.com/supermemoryai/sdk-ts/blob/main/MIGRATION.md).
