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.
