Subject: [PATCH] render: extract render_node() + add {{seed}} placeholder
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Refactor cmd_render into render_node() that returns a String —
reusable by both the CLI and agent placeholders.

Add {{seed}} placeholder: renders each seed node using the same
output as poc-memory render (content + deduped footer links). Agents
see exactly what a human sees — no special formatting.
