sfdc-retrieve-metadata-correct-api-usage

SfdcMetadataApi.retrieve() does not accept a package_xml string as a positional argument for content — that parameter is used as a URL path segment. Correct usage requires the unpackaged keyword argument with a dict mapping metadata type names to member lists. Passing a package.xml string content directly silently fails or queries the wrong endpoint.
