+Companion release to the v9 identity cleanup on the platform. Every

 header alongside the existing Basic Auth + `X-Axonflow-Client` headers.
 Value matches the SDK's Basic Auth username — smart default `community`

 ### Added
 
 - **`X-Client-ID` header on outbound HTTP requests.** Server-side identity
- decisions no longer need to re-decode Basic Auth. The agent's
- `apiAuthMiddleware` overwrites the header with its own auth-derived
- value, so caller-supplied values are harmless (no spoofing surface).
- Set on the shared `httpx.AsyncClient.headers` dict in
- `axonflow/client.py`, so every endpoint picks it up.
-- **`org_id` field in the telemetry heartbeat body (v9.1 preflight, #2277).**
- Brings Python SDK telemetry up to parity with the platform's
- `startup_telemetry.go` emitter — every heartbeat now identifies which

- 1. The `ORG_ID` env var when set (the operator's explicit configuration on

 ### Compatibility
 
 - Backward-compatible against v8 and v9 platforms: v8 agents ignore the
  unknown header; v9 agents derive identity from Basic Auth regardless.
