+ * `cue mem` — inspect and manage per-profile claude-mem memory stores.
+ *
+ *   cue mem [status]         list each profile's data dir, ports, and DB size
+ *   cue mem path <profile>   print the resolved CLAUDE_MEM_DATA_DIR for a profile
+ *   cue mem ports            show the worker/server port registry
+ *   cue mem seed <profile>   copy the shared ~/.claude-mem store into a profile
+ *                            (--from <dir> to pick a source, --force to overwrite)
+ *
+ * Background: cue points the claude-mem plugin at an isolated, SQLite-only store
+ * per profile (see lib/claude-mem-env.ts), so memories never bleed across roles.
+ * New profiles start EMPTY by design; `seed` ports your existing global history
+ * into one profile when you want continuity instead of a clean slate.
