Hands-on ergonomics for Bryan's Gundersen testing. All three changes are
backward-compatible — every old name still works.
1. `help` is now the canonical reference command (live, never-drifts table
from bin/ + each tool's help block). `cheat` kept as a thin alias.
2. Prefix-free short commands: nc-table→table, nc-parse→parse, nc-msgs→msgs,
nc-status→status, nc-engine→engine, nc-xlate→xlate, nc-inbound→inbound, plus
the write tools (create-thread, set-field, insert-protocol, make-jump,
provision-jumps, tclgen, document, revisions, diff-interface, smat-diff,
regression). COLLISION GUARD: nc-find→`nfind` (NOT `find` — would shadow the
system find on PATH); nc-paths keeps `paths`. Every nc-* name retained as a
backward-compat alias. Tab-completion + the help/cheat table updated.
3. HCISITEDIR auto-init in the shared preflight (bin/_nc_common.sh): HCIROOT +
HCISITE still required, but $HCIROOT/$HCISITE is created if missing rather
than erroring. Conservative + idempotent; respects an operator-set HCISITEDIR.
VERSION→0.9.6, MANIFEST regenerated (--check clean), bash -n clean.

- bin/cheat: one-screen reference for ALL short commands, generated live from
the bin/ wrapper set + each tool's help block (description from the wrapper
header / backing lib line 1; ONE real example from the wrapper's example
block / lib Usage form). cheat <filter> + cheat -h. LC_ALL=C em-dash slicing.
- Wired into install-larry.sh symlink loop + MANIFEST (auto-synced on update).
- Proved the update path: simulated v0.9.0 install with populated config/auth/
site-data -> re-ran installer against v0.9.5 origin -> reached v0.9.5 with
bin/cheat on PATH + completion wired + fixtures present, ALL 8 state files
byte-identical (sha256), tbn adt + completion working after. Idempotent re-run
(no duplicate rc line). NO uninstall needed for an update.
- VERSION + LARRY_VERSION -> 0.9.5; MANIFEST regenerated (--check clean, 95
entries); bash -n clean. Deliverables: cheatsheet + update-procedure (myPKA).
