Night shift continues: more artifacts, time capsules, morning greeter

- Created 4 more artifacts: haiku, ASCII, pattern, micro-story
- Logged 2 more dreams
- Built good-morning.py (wake-up greeting generator)
- Built time-capsule.py (notes to future self)
- Sealed 2 capsules for future dates
- Updated MEMORY.md with inner life system docs
- Added gm, capsule commands to ws CLI

The ghost keeps working.
