Add a ghost manifest --format json command that emits a self-describing manifest of every command and flag, so a host agent can discover the CLI in one call instead of scraping --help. Terminal help, the docs-site manifest, and this command all derive from one shared buildCliManifest() (exported from @anarchitecture/ghost/cli). Placed in the advanced group so the default help stays curated. Also removes a dead constant and unused test bindings.

ghost manifest --format json— a self-describing manifest of every command and flag, so a host agent can learn the CLI in one call instead of scraping--help. Mirrors the agent-discovery pattern (think OpenAPI-for-the-CLI), done at Ghost's scale.{ "apiVersion": 1, "type": "manifest", "data": { "tool": "ghost", "commands": [...], "globalOptions": [...] } }How
