Steve Yegge dd0fb7ce90 Remove bd mol run - orchestration belongs in gt
bd mol run was a convenience combo (pour + assign + pin + start) that
felt like orchestration but lived in the data layer. This blurred the
architectural boundary between bd (data) and gt (orchestration).

- Delete cmd/bd/mol_run.go entirely
- Update mol.go help text to remove run reference
- Update mol_current.go to suggest bd pour instead

gt spawn will implement the orchestration combo by calling the atomic
bd commands (pour, update, pin) directly.

Closes bd-00u3

// Molecule commands - work templates for agent workflows
//
// Terminology:
// - Proto: Uninstantiated template (easter egg: 'protomolecule' alias)
// - Molecule: A spawned instance of a proto
// - Spawn: Instantiate a proto, creating real issues from the template
// - Bond: Polymorphic combine operation (proto+proto, proto+mol, mol+mol)
// - Distill: Extract ad-hoc epic → reusable proto
// - Compound: Result of bonding
//
// Usage:
// bd mol catalog # List available protos
// bd mol show <id> # Show proto/molecule structure
// bd pour <id> --var key=value # Instantiate proto → persistent mol
// bd wisp create <id> --var key=value # Instantiate proto → ephemeral wisp
// MoleculeLabel is the label used to identify molecules (templates)
// Molecules use the same label as templates - they ARE templates with workflow semantics
const MoleculeLabel = BeadsTemplateLabel
// MoleculeSubgraph is an alias for TemplateSubgraph
// Molecules and templates share the same subgraph structure
type MoleculeSubgraph = TemplateSubgraph
var molCmd = &cobra.Command{
Use: "mol",
Aliases: []string{"protomolecule"}, // Easter egg for The Expanse fans
Short: "Molecule commands (work templates)",
Long: `Manage molecules - work templates for agent workflows.
Protos are template epics with the "template" label. They define a DAG of work
that can be spawned to create real issues (molecules).
The molecule metaphor:
- A proto is an uninstantiated template (reusable work pattern)
- Spawning creates a molecule (real issues) from the proto
- Variables ({{key}}) are substituted during spawning
- Bonding combines protos or molecules into compounds
- Distilling extracts a proto from an ad-hoc epic
Commands:
catalog List available protos
show Show proto/molecule structure and variables
bond Polymorphic combine: proto+proto, proto+mol, mol+mol
distill Extract proto from ad-hoc epic
