Clover 400398ca7d v0.9.6: help canonical + prefix-free short commands (nc-find→nfind guard) + HCISITEDIR auto-init
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.

# help — one-screen reference for ALL Cloverleaf-Larry short commands.
# Generated LIVE from the bin/ wrapper set + each tool's help block, so it can
# NEVER drift from what is actually installed on PATH. No static list.
# (Canonical command is `help`; `cheat` is a kept alias — same output.)
#
# help # the full table: command · what it does · one example
# help tbn # just the row(s) whose name contains 'tbn'
# help hl7 # filter — every command matching 'hl7'
# help -h # this help
#
# For each command shown, `help` derives:
# • the description — from the wrapper's own `# name — …` header line, or (for
# the thin nc-*/hl7-* pass-through wrappers) from line 1 of
# the underlying lib/<tool>.sh, whichever is more specific.
# • ONE real example — the first indented `# <cmd> …` example in the wrapper's
# help block; else the first `# Usage:` form of the backing
# lib tool, rewritten to the bare on-PATH command; else
# `<cmd> -h`.
# Run `<cmd> -h` (or `<cmd> --help`) on any row for the full, authoritative help.
