feat: Complete 9 unified methods with CLI parity and triple-power search

- Add missing add-noun and add-verb CLI commands for full API parity
- Update CLI documentation to showcase triple-power search capabilities
- Add comprehensive type-safe augmentation management system
- Verify search supports vector + metadata + graph traversal in one call
- All 9 unified methods now available via both API and CLI
- Complete documentation accuracy fixes and cleanup

+
+// Filter augmentations
+brain.augmentations.listEnabled()          // All active augmentations
+brain.augmentations.listDisabled()         // All inactive ones
+
+```
+
+### 📝 **Complete Example with TypeScript**
+
+```typescript
+import { BrainyData, AugmentationType, IAugmentation } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
+
+// Create your augmentation with full type safety
+class SentimentAnalyzer implements IAugmentation {
+  readonly name = 'sentiment-analyzer'
+  readonly description = 'Analyzes emotional tone of text'
+  enabled = true
+  
+  async initialize() { /* setup */ }
+  async shutDown() { /* cleanup */ }
+  async getStatus() { return 'active' as const }
+  
+  async analyze(text: string): Promise<'positive' | 'negative' | 'neutral'> {
+    // Your sentiment logic here
+    return 'positive'
+  }
+}
+
+const brain = new BrainyData()
+const sentiment = new SentimentAnalyzer()
+
+// Register with the 9th method
+brain.augment(sentiment)
+
+// Type-safe management
+if (brain.augmentations.isEnabled('sentiment-analyzer')) {
+  console.log('Sentiment analysis is active!')
+}
+
+// List all processor-type augmentations
+const processors = brain.augmentations.listByType(AugmentationType.PROCESSOR)
+```
+
+**Why augment() is special:**
+- 🚀 **Infinite Extensibility** - Add any feature you can imagine
+- 🧩 **Plugin Architecture** - Share augmentations with the community
+- 🔧 **Runtime Flexibility** - Enable/disable features on the fly
+- 🎯 **Zero Core Bloat** - Keep Brainy lean, add only what you need
