plind 6796a47b8d feat(sdk): make Begin inputs discoverable on Session.ask (#14842)
### What problem does this PR solve?

Closes #14751.

The user reported that after adding a variable (e.g. `key1`) to an
agent's **Begin** component, the Python SDK gave them no way to pass it:
their call `session.ask(question=user_question, stream=False)` had no
parameter for `key1`, and the `ask()` signature was just `(question,
stream, **kwargs)` with a docstring that only described streaming
behavior.

The functionality already works — `_ask_agent` does
`json_data.update(kwargs)` and the server reads `inputs` from the
request body at `agent_api.py:902`. The canonical shape is also in the
public API docs (`docs/references/python_api_reference.md:1817-1840`):

```python
session.ask(
    "",
    stream=False,
    inputs={"line_var": {"type": "line", "value": "I am line_var"}},
    return_trace=True,
)
```

But because `inputs`, `release`, and `return_trace` were hidden behind
`**kwargs`, they did not appear in IDE signature help, and the docstring
did not mention them. Users had no path from "I added a key in the UI"
to "I need to pass `inputs=...` with this exact shape."

This PR promotes the three most relevant Begin-related arguments to
named parameters and rewrites the docstring with a worked example.

### What this PR changes

- `sdk/python/ragflow_sdk/modules/session.py`:
- `Session.ask()` signature becomes `ask(question="", stream=False,
inputs=None, release=None, return_trace=None, **kwargs)`.
- These three new named params are forwarded into the existing `kwargs`
dict before dispatch, so the wire format and downstream behavior are
unchanged.
- Docstring rewritten in numpy style, including the structured `{"type":
..., "value": ...}` shape that the Begin component requires (see
`agent/component/begin.py:45-60`).

No backend changes. `**kwargs` is preserved for forward compatibility
with other body fields (`session_id`, `files`, `user_id`,
`custom_header`, …).

### Test plan

- [ ] `session.ask(question="hi", stream=False)` — existing call still
works
- [ ] `session.ask("", stream=False, inputs={"key1": {"type": "line",
"value": "v"}})` — Begin component receives `key1 = "v"`
- [ ] `session.ask("", stream=True, return_trace=True)` — streaming
response includes trace events
- [ ] IDE / `help(Session.ask)` now shows `inputs`, `release`,
`return_trace` with descriptions

### Type of change

- [x] Refactoring
- [x] Documentation Update

Ask a question to the session.
Parameters
----------
question : str
The user's question. May be empty when the agent is driven solely by
Begin component inputs.
stream : bool
If ``True``, yields ``Message`` objects as they arrive (SSE streaming).
If ``False``, yields a single ``Message`` with the final answer.
inputs : dict, optional
Values for variables declared on the agent's **Begin** component. Each
value must be a dict containing at least a ``"value"`` key, and may
include ``"type"``. Example::
session.ask(
"",
stream=False,
inputs={"key1": {"type": "line", "value": "hello"}},
)
Only meaningful for agent sessions; ignored for chat sessions.
release : bool, optional
If ``True``, run against the latest published agent version instead of
the editable draft. Only meaningful for agent sessions.
return_trace : bool, optional
If ``True``, include execution trace information in the response.
Only meaningful for agent sessions.
**kwargs
Additional fields forwarded verbatim to the completion endpoint
(e.g. ``session_id``, ``files``, ``user_id``, ``custom_header``).
See the HTTP API reference for the full list.
