var deferCmd = &cobra.Command{
	Use:   "defer [id...]",
	Short: "Defer one or more issues for later",
	Long: `Defer issues to put them on ice for later.

Deferred issues are deliberately set aside - not blocked by anything specific,
just postponed for future consideration. Unlike blocked issues, there's no
dependency keeping them from being worked. Unlike closed issues, they will
be revisited.

Deferred issues don't show in 'bd ready' but remain visible in 'bd list'.

Examples:
  bd defer bd-abc                  # Defer a single issue (status-based)
  bd defer bd-abc --until=tomorrow # Defer until specific time
  bd defer bd-abc bd-def           # Defer multiple issues`,
