Steve Yegge e67712dcd4 refactor(cmd): migrate sort.Slice to slices.SortFunc (bd-u2sc.2)
Modernize sorting code to use Go 1.21+ slices package:
- Replace sort.Slice with slices.SortFunc across 16 files
- Use cmp.Compare for orderable types (strings, ints)
- Use time.Time.Compare for time comparisons
- Use cmp.Or for multi-field sorting
- Use slices.SortStableFunc where stability matters

Benefits: cleaner 3-way comparison, slightly better performance,
modern idiomatic Go.

Part of GH#692 refactoring epic.

Wisps are ephemeral molecules stored in .beads-wisp/ (gitignored).
They're used for patrol cycles, operational loops, and other workflows
that shouldn't accumulate in the permanent database.
The wisp lifecycle:
1. Create: bd mol bond --wisp ... (creates in .beads-wisp/)
2. Execute: Normal bd operations work on wisps
3. Squash: bd mol squash <id> (creates permanent digest, deletes wisp)
4. Or burn: bd mol burn <id> (deletes wisp with no digest)
Commands:
list List all wisps in current context
gc Garbage collect orphaned wisps`,

Use: "create <proto-id>",
Short: "Instantiate a proto as an ephemeral wisp (solid -> vapor)",
Long: `Create a wisp from a proto - sublimation from solid to vapor.
This is the chemistry-inspired command for creating ephemeral work from templates.
The resulting wisp lives in .beads-wisp/ (ephemeral storage) and is NOT synced.
Phase transition: Proto (solid) -> wisp -> Wisp (vapor)
Use wisp create for:
- Patrol cycles (deacon, witness)
- Health checks and monitoring
- One-shot orchestration runs
- Routine operations with no audit value
The wisp will:
- Be stored in .beads-wisp/ (gitignored)
- NOT sync to remote
- Either evaporate (burn) or condense to digest (squash)
Equivalent to: bd mol spawn <proto>

bd wisp create mol-patrol # Ephemeral patrol cycle
bd wisp create mol-health-check # One-time health check
bd wisp create mol-diagnostics --var target=db # Diagnostic run`,
