Ashpreet c7c5adcc60 cookbook: overhaul agent quickstart for Gemini 3.6 Flash (#9136)
## Summary

Overhauls `cookbook/00_quickstart` into a coherent capability ladder:
build one useful agent, add context and learning, introduce safety and
human approval, then scale to teams, workflows, and AgentOS.

- Upgrades every active quickstart model to the stable
`gemini-3.6-flash` ID.
- Repositions the README around **Build an Agent That Can Act, Remember,
and Improve**, with a minimal first success and clear Core → Context →
Trust → Scale → Ship progression.
- Replaces the hand-built self-learning demo with the canonical
`LearningMachine` and shared learned knowledge.
- Fixes misleading guardrail status handling, structured-output truth
claims, optional-value handling, and cross-session memory behavior.
- Gives each stateful example isolated SQLite/Chroma storage and stable
session IDs.
- Makes knowledge deterministic with a versioned local fixture.
- Reworks human approval to verify both approve and reject paths.
- Narrows tool exposure, refreshes AgentOS prompts/registration, and
regenerates a lean Agno 2.8 dependency lock.
- Adds a repeatable live test plan and preserves the historical Gemini
3.5 verification record.

This makes the folder useful as both a newcomer journey and a set of
standalone, copyable agent patterns.

confirmed that no other PR already addresses this issue
- [x] If a similar PR exists, I have explained below why this PR is a
better approach
- [x] Check if this PR was entirely AI-generated (by Copilot, Claude
Code, Cursor, etc.)

## Additional Notes

Validation completed against Agno `2.8.0`, `google-genai==2.14.0`, and
Gemini 3.6 Flash:

- 12/12 quickstart cookbooks passed live behavioral checks.
- AgentOS passed with 10 agents, 1 team, and 1 workflow; `/health` and
`/config` returned successfully.
- Approval/rejection, guardrail failure paths, cross-session memory, and
process-restart persistence passed.
- Focused unit suite: 82 passed, 1 skipped.
- `./scripts/format.sh`, `./scripts/validate.sh`, `compileall`, cookbook
pattern checks, and `git diff --check` passed.
- An independent final diff review found no remaining correctness
issues.

The global Gemini framework default is intentionally unchanged; this PR
only updates the quickstart folder. Historical Gemini 3.5 results remain
in `TEST_LOG.md` under a clearly labeled historical section.

Prepared with Codex under user direction and validated with live model
calls plus repository gates.

Agent with Learning - Research That Improves Across Users
=========================================================
This example gives an agent learned knowledge: reusable insights that become
available to future users and sessions.
Unlike memory, which stores facts about one user, learned knowledge captures
general lessons that can improve the agent's work for everyone.
Key concepts:
- LearningMachine: Coordinates what the agent learns and recalls
- LearnedKnowledgeConfig: Enables a shared store for reusable insights
- AGENTIC mode: The agent decides when to save and search for a learning
Example prompts to try:
- "Remember this research rule: separate cyclical demand from structural demand"
- "What should I watch when comparing NVDA and AMD?"
- "What have you learned about semiconductor research?"

Memory vs learned knowledge:
- Memory: "This user prefers concise answers."
- Learned knowledge: "Separate cyclical demand from structural demand."
Use learned knowledge for:
- Research methods and reusable heuristics
- Lessons discovered while completing work
- Team-wide conventions
- Insights that should transfer across users
For user profiles, entity memory, decision logs, and custom learning stores,
continue with cookbook/08_learning.
