Major refactor of molecular chemistry to make protos ephemeral:
- Formulas are now cooked directly to in-memory TemplateSubgraph
- No more proto beads stored in the database
Changes:
- cook.go: Add cookFormulaToSubgraph() and resolveAndCookFormula()
for in-memory formula cooking
- template.go: Add VarDefs field to TemplateSubgraph for default
value handling, add extractRequiredVariables() and
applyVariableDefaults() helpers
- pour.go: Try formula loading first for any name (not just mol-)
- wisp.go: Same pattern as pour
- mol_bond.go: Use resolveOrCookToSubgraph() for in-memory subgraphs
- mol_catalog.go: List formulas from disk instead of DB proto beads
- mol_distill.go: Output .formula.json files instead of proto beads
Flow: Formula (.formula.json) -> pour/wisp (cook inline) -> Mol/Wisp

Remove the spawn command from bd mol. Proto instantiation now uses:
- bd pour <proto> - Instantiate as persistent mol (liquid phase)
- bd wisp create <proto> - Instantiate as ephemeral wisp (vapor phase)
Rationale:
- 'spawn' doesn't fit the chemistry metaphor
- Two phase transitions (pour/wisp) are clearer than one command with flags
- Avoids confusion about defaults
Changes:
- Delete mol_spawn.go
- Update mol.go, mol_catalog.go, mol_distill.go to reference pour/wisp
- Update pour.go and wisp.go to remove 'Equivalent to spawn' comments
- Update info.go changelog entries
- Update CHANGELOG.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, DELETIONS.md
Closes bd-8y9t
