fix: address Copilot review on PATH visibility (PR #1414)
- mempalace/instructions/init.md: only skip Step 4 when `mempalace --version` succeeds. `pip show` / `uv tool list` reporting an install is not enough -- if the package lives in an unactivated venv, Step 5 (`mempalace init ...`) fails with command-not-found. Treat that case as not-installed and re-install via Step 3 into a PATH-visible location. - .codex-plugin/README.md: switch the git-install recipe from `uv sync` to `uv tool install --editable .` so the bundled `plugin.json` (which invokes `mempalace-mcp` by bare name) can launch the MCP server. Plain `uv sync` only puts the script in `.venv/bin/`, which Codex won't find unless the venv is activated first.

## Step 2: Check if mempalace is already installed

Run `mempalace --version` to see if the CLI is already on the user's PATH.

If it succeeds, report the installed version and skip to Step 4.

Run `mempalace --version`. If it succeeds, the CLI is on PATH — report

If that fails, fall back to `pip show mempalace` (and `uv tool list` if `uv`

`pip show mempalace` or `uv tool list` reports the package as installed:

the package may live inside a venv that isn't activated, in which case

Step 5 (`mempalace init ...`) will fail with `command not found`. Treat

that case as not-installed and continue to Step 3, which will (re)install
