--query is required

Error message

--query is required

What it means

Post-parse required-argument check in `openhuman memory query`. The query text is optional during parsing and unwrapped with ok_or_else after the loop; with no --query/-q given there is nothing to search for, so the command rejects the invocation before contacting the memory store.

Solutions

1. Provide the search text: `--query "some text"` (short form -q).
2. Quote the query if it contains spaces.
3. Run `openhuman memory query --help` for the full usage line.
