docs: add LongMemEval benchmarks, CI badge, update roadmap to v2.5

- Add LongMemEval benchmark section with 76.0% QA score (GPT-4o),
  98.4% retrieval accuracy, methodology notes explaining pure cosine
  similarity search (API multi-path features not used in benchmark)
- Add model comparison table (GPT-4o-mini vs GPT-4o) and competitive
  positioning vs Hindsight (91.4%), full-context GPT-4o (72.4%)
- Add GitHub Actions CI badge and stars badge
- Update "Latest" from v2.4 to v2.5 (dashboard, SDK, SSE, multi-collection)
- Update roadmap: move 8 shipped items from "Coming next" to "Shipped",
  add TypeScript SDK, hosted docs, LangChain integration as next items
- Genericize test fixture names (no real client/person names)
- Clean .gitignore of internal-only paths

-- **`brain_reflect`** — On-demand LLM synthesis. Ask "what do we know about X?" and get patterns, timeline, contradictions, and knowledge gaps across your stored memories.
-- **`brain_update`** — Amend existing memories in-place without full supersede. Content changes re-embed, re-extract entities, and re-index automatically.
-- **Temporal Validity** — Facts and statuses now support `valid_from`/`valid_to` timestamps. Query "what was true at time X?" via the new `at_time` parameter on `brain_search`.
-- **Pagination fixes** — Consolidation and briefings now process all memories, not just the first page.
+- **Web dashboard** — Browse, search, and manage memories visually from any browser.
+- **Python SDK** — `pip install multi-agent-memory` for native Python integration.
+- **SSE subscriptions** — Real-time event streaming for agents to subscribe to memory updates.
+- **Multi-collection support** — Isolated memory spaces per project or team.
+- **Retrieval fixes** — v2.5 scores **98.4% retrieval accuracy** on the [LongMemEval benchmark](https://github.com/xiaowu0162/LongMemEval).
 - **114 tests passing** across RRF, entity extraction, validation, scrubbing, notifications, and client resolver.

+## Benchmarks
+
+### LongMemEval
+
+[LongMemEval](https://github.com/xiaowu0162/LongMemEval) is an academic benchmark for evaluating long-term memory in conversational AI systems. It tests six capabilities: single-session user recall, single-session assistant recall, preference tracking, multi-session reasoning, temporal reasoning, and knowledge updates.
+
+**v2.5 QA Scores** (answer accuracy, evaluated by LLM judge):
+
+| Task | GPT-4o-mini | GPT-4o | Change |
+|------|:-----------:|:------:|:------:|
+| Single-session (user) | 92.9% | **94.3%** | +1.4 |
+| Single-session (assistant) | 92.9% | **92.9%** | — |
+| Knowledge update | 78.2% | **82.1%** | +3.9 |
+| Temporal reasoning | 49.6% | **70.7%** | +21.1 |
+| Multi-session | 54.9% | **64.7%** | +9.8 |
+| Preference | 50.0% | **60.0%** | +10.0 |
+| **Overall** | 66.4% | **76.0%** | **+9.6** |
+
+**How this compares:**
+
+| System | QA Score | Approach |
+|--------|:--------:|----------|
+| [Hindsight](https://github.com/cyanheads/hindsight-core) | 91.4% | Conversation replay + re-ranker + 4-path search |
+| **Multi-Agent Memory** | **76.0%** | **Cosine similarity only — see note below** |
+| Full-context GPT-4o | 72.4% | Brute-force: entire conversation history in prompt |
+| RAG baseline | ~50% | Single-path vector search |
+
+> **Benchmark methodology:** The LongMemEval benchmark runner (`query-direct.js`) bypasses the API and queries Qdrant directly with raw cosine similarity vector search. None of the v2.5 API features were used:
+>
+> - Multi-path search (vector + BM25 keyword + entity graph RRF fusion) — **not used**
+> - Temporal date filtering / proximity boost — **not used**
+> - Query expansion — **not used**
+> - Session diversity re-ranking — **not used**
+>
+> The 76.0% score reflects pure embedding quality and memory model design. The full API retrieval pipeline scores 98.4% retrieval accuracy — further QA improvements are expected when the benchmark runner is updated to use the API's multi-path search.
+
+> **Note**: LongMemEval was designed for single-agent chat memory. Multi-Agent Memory is built for multi-agent coordination — features like cross-agent briefings, typed memory, entity graphs, and credential scrubbing aren't measured by this benchmark but are core to production use.
