docs(tutorial): drop dead --remote flag from company-brain search examples

With unknown op flags now a hard error (this PR), the tutorial's
`gbrain search ... --remote` invocations would fail: no code path ever
read a --remote flag — thin-client installs route shared ops through the
remote MCP server automatically. Update the three examples to the
flagless form and explain the automatic routing.
