Document that wisps are intentionally local-only and use hard delete
instead of tombstones. This is by design - wisps never sync to other
clones, so tombstones are unnecessary overhead.

GetConfig() returns ("", nil) for missing/empty config keys.
getRepoConfig() then tried json.Unmarshal([]byte(""), ...) which
fails with "unexpected end of JSON input".
Add empty value check before JSON parsing - return empty map when
config value is empty string.

Remove cleanupSnapshots() and validateSnapshotConsistency() from
deletion_tracking.go - both were marked deprecated and never called.
The other two deprecated functions (getSnapshotStats, initializeSnapshotsIfNeeded)
are still used by tests and production code respectively.

Wisp = ephemeral vapor produced by the Steam Engine (Gas Town).
This aligns with the metaphor:
- Claude = Fire
- Claude Code = Steam
- Gas Town = Steam Engine
- Wisps = ephemeral vapor it produces
Changes:
- types.Issue.Ephemeral → types.Issue.Wisp
- types.IssueFilter.Ephemeral → types.IssueFilter.Wisp
- JSON field: "ephemeral" → "wisp"
- CLI flag: --ephemeral → --wisp (bd cleanup)
- All tests updated
Note: SQLite column remains "ephemeral" (no migration needed).
This is a breaking change for JSON consumers using 0.33.0.

Ephemeral molecules release:
- bd mol spawn creates ephemeral issues by default
- Ephemeral issues never export to JSONL
- bd mol squash with --summary for agent summaries

Ephemeral issues should never be exported to issues.jsonl. They exist only
in SQLite and are shared via .beads/redirect pointers. This prevents
"zombie" issues from resurrecting after mol squash deletes them.
Changes:
- Filter ephemeral issues in autoflush, export, and multirepo_export
- Add --summary flag to bd mol squash for agent-provided summaries
- Fix DeleteIssue to also remove comments (missing cascade)
- Add tests for ephemeral filtering and comment deletion

Implements Tier 2 of the ephemeral molecule cleanup workflow. The squash
command compresses a molecule's ephemeral children into a single digest issue.
Features:
- Collects all ephemeral child issues of a molecule
- Generates a structured digest with execution summary
- Creates a non-ephemeral digest issue linked to the root
- Optionally deletes ephemeral children (default behavior)
- Supports --dry-run and --keep-children flags

Molecule spawning now creates ephemeral issues that can be bulk-deleted
when closed using `bd cleanup --ephemeral`. This supports the ephemeral
molecule workflow pattern where execution traces are cleaned up while
outcomes persist.
Changes:
- Add `ephemeral` parameter to cloneSubgraph() and spawnMolecule()
- mol spawn: ephemeral=true by default, add --persistent flag to opt out
- mol run: ephemeral=true (molecule execution)
- mol bond: ephemeral=true (bonded protos)
- template instantiate: ephemeral=false (deprecated, backwards compat)
This is Tier 1 of the ephemeral molecule workflow epic (bd-2vh3).

Code review found that bondProtoProto was setting Labels on the compound
issue, but CreateIssue doesn't persist labels (they're stored separately.
Fixed by calling AddLabel after creating the compound.
Also added comprehensive tests for:
- isProto() - template label detection
- operandType() - proto vs molecule string
- minPriority() - priority comparison
- bondProtoProto() - compound proto creation with deps and labels
- bondProtoMol() - spawn proto and attach to molecule
- bondMolMol() - join two molecules with sequential/parallel bonds
Tests verify dependency types (blocks vs parent-child) based on bond type.

The timerChan and timeoutChan variables were created but never read from,
causing lint errors. Removed them since we don't need channel synchronization -
we only want the timeout to trigger a message, not block anything.
Agents naturally use spawn-style (variable=value) for both spawn and
distill commands. Now distill accepts both:
- --var branch=feature-auth (spawn-style)
- --var feature-auth=branch (substitution-style)
Smart detection checks which side appears in the epic text:
- Right side found → spawn-style (left is varname)
- Left side found → substitution-style (left is value)
- Both found → prefers spawn-style (more common guess)
Embodies the Beads philosophy: watch what agents do, make their guess correct.

When git push or other git operations hang waiting for credential/browser
auth, show a helpful message to the user after 5 seconds of inactivity
instead of appearing frozen.
Added:
- runCmdWithTimeoutMessage() in internal/syncbranch/worktree.go
- runGitCmdWithTimeoutMsg() in cmd/bd/sync.go
- Both functions print a message after timeout delay with advice
to check for browser auth prompts
Fixes issue #647 (bd sync frozen waiting for browser auth)
Adds --attach (repeatable) and --attach-type flags to bd mol spawn
for on-the-fly composition of molecules.
Usage:
bd mol spawn mol-feature --attach mol-testing --attach mol-docs
Each attached proto is spawned and bonded to the primary molecule
using the specified bond type (default: sequential).
Also fixes a pre-existing bug where bondProtoMol and bondMolMol tried
to add both parent-child AND blocks dependencies between the same
issues, violating the UNIQUE constraint on (issue_id, depends_on_id).
Now sequential bonds use blocks type, parallel/conditional use
parent-child.
Closes bd-obep
