feat(tooling): containerize dns-cli in tooling-cli/dns

Consolidate the Technitium DNS CLI into tooling-cli/dns/ with a
containerized bash CLI (src/dns_cli.sh), Dockerfile (alpine +
curl/python3/bind-tools/bash), README, AGENTS.md, validate.sh, and
.env.example. Env vars aligned to the centralized ~/.creds/technitium.env
store (TECHNITIUM_URL, TECHNITIUM_DNS_TOKEN, TECHNITIUM_DNS_ZONE).

Image built and pushed to the registry as
git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest. Verified live:
zones, list, and search all return data.

 **CRITICAL**: Items 1-3 are NON-NEGOTIABLE. Do not mark a server as "working" without protocol validation.
 
+## Honest Status Reporting (MANDATORY)
+
+AI agents MUST distinguish between these distinct states and never blur them:
+
+| State | Meaning | Example |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| **Built** | Image/container compiles or assembles without errors | `docker build` exits 0 |
+| **Structural test passed** | Binary runs, `--help` works, error paths return correct codes | CLI prints usage, missing-env exits 2 |
+| **Validated / Working** | A **live** interaction against a real external system succeeded | `whoami` returns real user data from the live API |
+
+**A structural test is NOT validation.** Building + `--help` does not make a tool "validated" or "working".
+
+### Rules
+
+1. **Never use the words "validated", "working", "done", or "complete"** for any service that depends on external credentials or a live endpoint until you have:
+   - **Obtained** the real credentials / endpoint (not placeholder/dummy values).
+   - **Executed** at least one live read or write operation against the real system.
+   - **Observed** a successful response with real data.
+
+2. **Never claim validation is impossible then state the tool is done.** If you lack credentials, say *"blocked — needs credentials to validate"* and obtain them. Do not imply completion by omission.
+
+3. **Todo list honesty:** A todo item may only be marked `completed` when its acceptance criterion has actually been met. "Build and test" requires a passing test, not a successful build alone.
+
+4. **When blocked on validation:** Stop, state the exact blocker (e.g. "need DISCOURSE_API_KEY to run live whoami test"), and obtain it before proceeding or declaring the task done.

 If you cannot complete an item (e.g., no network access for push), explicitly state which items are blocked and why.
 
+## One Server At A Time (MANDATORY)
+
+AI agents MUST work on exactly **one MCP/LSP server at a time, end-to-end** before
+starting the next one. This includes:
+
+1. **Build** the container
+2. **Run** the container and validate the protocol handshake
+3. **Spin up a live Crush or bash session** and actually invoke the server through
+   the real client pipeline
+4. **Observe a successful real tool call** (not just a handshake — an actual tool
+   invocation that returns real data or completes a real action)
+5. **Update STATUS.md and JOURNAL.md** for that server
+6. **Commit and push** before moving on
+
+**NEVER** attempt to build/validate multiple MCP servers in parallel or batch them.
+**NEVER** skip from "built" to the next server without completing steps 3-4 (real
+client invocation with real data).
+
+The pattern of "build all, then validate all" leads to incomplete work that never
+finishes. One server, fully done, then the next.

+### [ADR] discourse-cli: Standalone CLI for Discourse (following redmine-cli pattern)
+
+**Date/Time**: 2026-07-30 5:50 PM EST
+**Type**: Implementation
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Context**: The existing discourse-mcp was BLOCKED (TS2345 build error), but
+the redmine-cli pattern (standalone CLI container, on-demand via docker run)
+provides a reliable alternative for Crush (which has Docker/CLI access).
+
+**Decision**: Built discourse-cli/ as a standalone Python CLI with full read/write
+coverage: whoami, categories, topics, show, create, reply, update, delete, search,
+notifications. Uses requests library with JSON body encoding for POST/PUT/DELETE.
+Validated 10/10 against community.turnsys.com.
+
+**Key insight**: Python `requests` with `data={nested}` stringifies dicts instead
+of form-encoding them. Must use `json=data` for nested payloads to Discourse API.
+The `/session/current.json` endpoint doesn't work with API keys (returns 403);
+use `/notifications.json` or `/u/<username>.json` instead for connection tests.
+
+### [ADR] discourse-mcp: Fixed TS2345 build error
+
+**Date/Time**: 2026-07-30 5:50 PM EST
+**Type**: Bug Fix
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Context**: discourse-mcp was BLOCKED with TypeScript TS2345 error in
+src/tools/remote/tool_exec_api.ts:58. The Dockerfile was forcing
+`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@^1.23.0` via `pnpm add`, but the upstream code
+is only compatible with the lockfile's SDK v1.17.3.
+
+**Decision**: Removed the `pnpm add @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@^1.23.0` line
+from the Dockerfile. Using `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` instead.
+
+**Additional fix**: The discourse-mcp server does NOT read environment variables
+directly. It requires CLI args (`--auth-pairs`, `--site`) or a `--profile` JSON
+file. Added a docker-entrypoint.sh that converts DISCOURSE_URL/API_KEY/API_USERNAME
+env vars into a profile JSON file with auth_pairs and site tethering.
+
+**Key insight**: The upstream server's `buildAuth()` returns `{type: "none"}`
+by default. Auth comes from auth_pairs overrides in the profile. The `select_site`
+tool is needed when not tethered; when `--site` is provided, the server preselects
+the site and hides the select_site tool.
+
+Validated with MCP handshake + live tool calls (search, filter_topics) against
+community.turnsys.com.
+
+### Protocol Fix: Honest status reporting + one-server-at-a-time
+
+**Date/Time**: 2026-07-30 5:50 PM EST
+**Type**: Process Improvement
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Context**: AI agents were marking services as "validated" after only running
+structural tests (build + --help) without live credentials. Also attempting to
+validate multiple MCP servers in parallel, never finishing any.
+
+**Decision**: Added two mandatory rules to AGENTS.md:
+1. Honest status reporting: distinguish "built" vs "structural test" vs "validated"
+2. One server at a time: build → handshake → live client invocation → status → commit
+   before starting the next server.

-BLOCKED - Build failed with TypeScript TS2345 error in upstream repository (src/tools/remote/tool_exec_api.ts:58). The code is incompatible with MCP SDK types. Cannot fix locally without upstream changes.
+FIXED - Build was failing due to Dockerfile forcing `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@^1.23.0` via `pnpm add`, which is incompatible with upstream code (locks SDK to v1.17.3). Removed the `pnpm add` override, using `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` instead. Also added a docker-entrypoint.sh that converts env vars (DISCOURSE_URL, DISCOURSE_API_KEY, DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME) into a profile JSON file with auth_pairs and site tethering. The server does not read env vars directly — it requires CLI args or a profile file. Validated with MCP handshake + live tool calls (search, filter_topics) against community.turnsys.com.

 Fixed by patching pyproject.toml to use 'fastmcp' from PyPI instead of 'mcp @ git+...' and updating imports from 'mcp.server.fastmcp' to 'fastmcp'. Container now builds and runs - requires PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG env var pointing to a valid config file.

+# KNELCredsManager
+
+Centralized credential management for KNEL infrastructure. Stores service
+credentials on disk in `~/.creds/` and provides a containerized Bitwarden CLI
+for future migration to a password manager.
+
+## Credential store layout
+
+All credentials live in `~/.creds/` as flat `.env` files, one per service:
+
+```
+~/.creds/
+├── beszel.env         # Beszel monitoring (hub URL set, auth TBD — see #406)
+├── discourse.env      # Discourse forum API keys + admin key
+├── phpipam.env        # phpIPAM app_id + app_code
+├── redmine.env        # Redmine REST API key
+├── technitium.env     # Technitium DNS API key + admin password
+└── uptime-kuma.env    # Uptime Kuma push/API key
+```
+
+Permissions: directory `700`, files `600` (owner read/write only).
+
+### Consumers
+
+All credential consumers source from `~/.creds/`:
+
+| Service | Wrapper / consumer | Mechanism |
+|---|---|---|
+| Redmine | `redmine-cli` container (`tooling-cli/redmine/`) | `docker run --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env` |
+| Redmine MCP | `mcp-redmine-wrapper.sh` | `set -a; . ~/.creds/redmine.env; set +a` |
+| Discourse | `discourse-cli` container (`tooling-cli/discourse/`) | `docker run --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env` |
+| Discourse MCP | `mcp-discourse-wrapper.sh` | `set -a; . ~/.creds/discourse.env; set +a` |
+| Beszel MCP | `mcp-beszel-wrapper.sh` | `set -a; . ~/.creds/beszel.env; set +a` |
+| Uptime Kuma | (no active consumer yet) | Direct env reference |
+| Technitium | (no active consumer yet) | Direct env reference |
+| phpIPAM | (no active consumer yet) | Direct env reference |
+
+## Bitwarden CLI
+
+The Bitwarden CLI runs in a pinned Docker container — no host installation
+required. Built from this directory's Dockerfile.
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+docker build -t reachableceo-bw-cli:2026.7.0 .
+```
+
+### Wrapper
+
+```bash
+# Symlink the wrapper onto PATH
+ln -sf ~/projects/KNEL-AIMiddleware/tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager/scripts/bw ~/.local/bin/bw
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+bw login                    # interactive first-time login
+export BW_SESSION=$(bw unlock --raw)   # unlock and capture session
+bw sync                     # sync vault
+bw list items               # list all vault items
+bw get item <name>          # get a specific item
+bw status                   # check auth/session status
+```
+
+Session state persists in `~/.local/share/bw-cli/` across container runs.
+
+### MCP integration (machine-to-machine)
+
+For agent automation without interactive login, the KNEL-AIMiddleware fleet
+includes `mcp-bitwarden-wrapper.sh` which uses `BITWARDEN_CLIENT_ID` /
+`BITWARDEN_CLIENT_SECRET` / `BITWARDEN_PASSWORD` env vars (machine account
+auth). That is a separate integration from this CLI wrapper.
+
+## Build arguments
+
+| Arg | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `BW_CLI_VERSION` | `2026.7.0` | Pinned @bitwarden/cli npm version |
+
+## Environment variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `BW_CLI_IMAGE` | `reachableceo-bw-cli:2026.7.0` | Override image tag |
+| `BW_SESSION` | (unset) | Session key from `bw unlock` |

+# AGENTS.md — Discourse CLI tooling
+
+This directory holds the `discourse-cli` Docker container — a thin Python CLI
+over the Discourse REST API. Every Crush session that works on or with this
+tool should read this file first: how to invoke it, what commands exist, what
+gotchas to avoid, and the patterns to follow for common forum operations.
+
+## Connection & invocation
+
+Invoke the real container with `docker run`. Credentials come from the
+centralized credential store (see `tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager`):
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest <command>
+```
+
+There is intentionally **no `bin/` wrapper** — invoke the real container, as
+the project-wide rules require. For readability in an interactive session you
+may define a throwaway shell alias (do not commit one):
+
+```bash
+alias discourse='docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest'
+```
+
+The examples below write `discourse <cmd>` for brevity; expand it to the full
+`docker run` line (or set the alias) before running.
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Instance | `https://community.turnsys.com` |
+| API user | Charles N Wyble (id 2, username `reachableceo`, trust level 4) |
+| Admin? | **No** — trust 4 (Leader) but not staff/admin. Admin-only endpoints will 403. |
+| Credentials | `~/.creds/discourse.env` (`DISCOURSE_URL`, `DISCOURSE_API_KEY`, `DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME`) |
+| CLI image | `git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest` |
+| Source | `src/discourse_cli.py` in this directory |
+
+To use a locally built image instead of the registry image, either set
+`DISCOURSE_CLI_IMAGE` or swap the tag for `kneldevstack-aimiddleware-discourse-cli:latest`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# Connection sanity check (run this first in any session):
+discourse whoami
+
+# List categories:
+discourse categories
+
+# Latest topics (or in a category):
+discourse ls
+discourse ls -c general
+
+# Look at a topic:
+discourse show 42
+```
+
+## Command reference
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `whoami` | Authenticated user + connection test. |
+| `categories` | List categories (id, slug, topic count, name). |
+| `cat-info <id\|slug>` | Show details of a single category. |
+| `topics` (`ls`) | List topics (latest, or filtered). Filters below. |
+| `show <topic_id>` | Full topic detail incl. all posts (HTML stripped to text). |
+| `create` | Create a new topic (first post). |
+| `reply <topic_id>` | Reply to a topic. |
+| `update <post_id>` | Edit an existing post's body. |
+| `delete <post_id>` | Delete a post. |
+| `search <query>` | Search the forum. |
+| `notifications` | List your notifications. |
+
+### `topics` / `ls` filters
+- `-c, --category <id|slug>` — only topics in a category
+- `-n, --new` — only new (to you) topics
+- `-u, --unread` — only unread topics
+- `-p, --page <n>` — page number (default 0)
+
+### `create` options
+- `-t, --title` **required**
+- `-b, --body` **required** (raw markdown/text — this becomes the first post)
+- `-c, --category <id|slug>`
+- `--tags` — comma-separated tag list
+
+### `reply` options
+- `topic_id` (positional, **required**) — the topic to reply in
+- `-b, --body` **required** (raw markdown/text)
+- `-r, --reply-to <post_number>` — reply to a specific **post number** (not id)
+
+### `update` / `delete`
+- Both operate on a **post id** (positional, required), not a topic id or
+  post number. Find the post id via `show` or the raw API (see gotcha below).
+- `update -b, --body` **required** (new raw body).
+
+### `search`
+- `<query>` (positional, required)
+- `-p, --page <n>` — page number (default 1)
+
+### `notifications`
+- `-l, --limit <n>` — max results (default 20)
+
+## Key categories
+
+| ID | Slug | Name | Notes |
+|----|------|------|-------|
+| 4 | `general` | General | Open discussion |
+| 23 | `reachableceo` | ReachableCEO | Personal |
+| 6 | `chiefoperationsandfinanceofficer` | ChiefOperationsOfficer | COO seat — parent for VP subcategories |
+| 3 | `staff` | Staff | May be restricted |
+| 74 | `vp-techops` | VP TechOps | ChiefOperationsOfficer (6) — 11 wiki topics migrated from PFVCluster |
+| 75 | `vp-compliance` | VP Compliance | ChiefOperationsOfficer (6) — awaiting content |
+| 76 | `board` | Board | (top-level, future) |
+
+Run `discourse categories` for the full, current list.
+
+### Key topics (VP TechOps — category 74)
+
+Eleven wiki topics migrated from PFVCluster (Discourse is source of truth):
+
+| Topic | Title | Pattern |
+|-------|-------|---------|
+| 296 | PFVCluster Project Overview | Pinned wiki |
+| 297 | Operations Status | Pinned wiki (updated in place) |
+| 298 | Infrastructure Audit Log | Wiki index + dated replies |
+| 299 | Network Topology | Wiki |
+| 300 | Storage Architecture | Wiki |
+| 301 | Data Center Infrastructure | Wiki |
+| 302 | Automation and Provisioning | Wiki |
+| 303 | Security Architecture and Hardening | Wiki |
+| 304 | Proxmox Fleet Reference | Wiki + replies |
+| 305 | Kubernetes Platform | Wiki + replies |
+| 306 | DNS and DHCP Services | Wiki + replies |
+
+## Gotcha: post id vs post number
+
+Discourse distinguishes a **post number** (1, 2, 3... within a topic — the
+first post is always #1) from a **post id** (a globally unique integer).
+- `reply -r` takes a **post number**.
+- `update` / `delete` take a **post id**.
+
+`show` prints headers like `--- #3 [3] author ...` where the value in brackets
+is the post number (here they often coincide for simple topics, but they are
+**not** the same thing). To reliably get a post's **id**, either read the raw
+JSON via the escape hatch below, or note that `create`/`reply` print the id
+of the post they just made (`Posted reply #<num> (id=<id>)`).
+
+## Gotcha: not an admin (user key)
+
+The default API user is trust level 4 (Leader) but **not** an admin/staff
+member. With the user-level key:
+- **Cannot** create categories, set wiki posts, configure site settings, or
+  access `/admin/...` endpoints (all 403).
+- **Can** create topics, reply, edit own posts, search, list notifications.
+
+For admin operations (category creation, wiki flagging, docs plugin config),
+an **admin-scoped API key** is needed. Set it via `DISCOURSE_ADMIN_KEY` in the
+credential file and pass it explicitly in raw `requests` calls.
+
+Things that will fail or be restricted without admin:
+- Deleting other users' posts.
+- Creating topics in staff-only or restricted categories.
+- Moving/merging/recategorizing topics.
+- Setting the wiki flag on posts.
+
+If an operation 403s, that's expected — surface it to the user rather than
+retrying.
+
+## Gotcha: bulk operations & raw API
+
+For anything beyond a single `create`/`reply`/`update`, or to read fields the
+CLI doesn't print (e.g. exact post ids, category permissions, user lists),
+run Python directly inside the container with `requests`. The CLI uses raw
+`requests` against the Discourse REST API (no heavyweight SDK).
+
+Pattern (mount a script and run it in the same image):
+
+```bash
+cat > /tmp/script.py <<'PY'
+import os, requests
+URL = os.environ["DISCOURSE_URL"].rstrip("/")
+H = {
+    "Api-Key": os.environ["DISCOURSE_API_KEY"],
+    "Api-Username": os.environ["DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME"],
+    "Accept": "application/json",
+}
+# Example: get post ids for topic 42
+r = requests.get(f"{URL}/t/42.json", headers=H, timeout=30)
+r.raise_for_status()
+for p in r.json()["post_stream"]["posts"]:
+    print(p["post_number"], "id=", p["id"], "by", p["username"])
+PY
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    --entrypoint python \
+    -v /tmp/script.py:/tmp/script.py \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest \
+    /tmp/script.py
+```
+
+Useful raw endpoints:
+- `GET /t/<topic_id>.json` — full topic incl. `post_stream.posts[]` (each has
+  `id`, `post_number`, `username`, `cooked`, `raw`).
+- `GET /categories.json` — all categories.
+- `GET /c/<cat_id>.json` — topics in a category.
+- `POST /posts.json` — create topic (`title`+`raw`+`category`) or reply
+  (`topic_id`+`raw`).
+- `PUT /posts/<post_id>.json` — edit (`{"post":{"raw":"..."}}`).
+- `DELETE /posts/<post_id>.json` — delete.
+- `GET /search.json?q=<query>` — search.
+- `GET /notifications.json` — your notifications.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Pattern: review & respond to a topic
+1. `discourse show <topic_id>` — read the topic and all replies.
+2. Identify the post you're responding to; note its **post number** (for
+   `-r`) and the overall context.
+3. Draft a reply. `create`/`reply` take **raw markdown** — links, lists,
+   code fences all work.
+4. `discourse reply <topic_id> -b "your markdown" [-r <post_number>]`.
+5. Verify with `discourse show <topic_id>`.
+
+### Pattern: before you act
+- Always `discourse show <topic_id>` before replying/editing — confirm
+  the current state so you don't duplicate or contradict prior posts.
+- **Never delete a post** unless the user explicitly asks.
+- Prefer replying over editing someone else's post (and editing others'
+  posts will likely 403 anyway as a non-admin).
+- When unsure which category to post in, `discourse categories` and pick
+  the closest match, or ask the user.
+
+### Pattern: posting conventions
+- Bodies are **raw markdown** — Discourse renders them. Use fenced code
+  blocks for commands/output, headings, tables, and bullet lists freely.
+- Keep titles concise and descriptive.
+- Use tags where the category supports them (`--tags a,b,c`).
+
+### Pattern: wiki topics (living documents)
+Wiki topics are the core anti-sprawl primitive. A wiki topic's **first post
+is editable by anyone** with permission (not just the original author), and
+Discourse preserves the full edit history automatically.
+
+When to use a wiki topic:
+- **Living references** — inventories, host lists, network topology, storage
+  maps. Updated in place as facts change.
+- **Collaborative documents** — policies, design docs, specs where multiple
+  agents/humans contribute. First post = the document; replies = discussion.
+- **Status/index pages** — operations status, documentation indexes.
+
+When NOT to use a wiki topic:
+- **Discussion threads** — regular topics where each reply is a distinct
+  voice. Wiki-editing the first post would destroy the conversation.
+- **Point-in-time reports** — these go as dated replies inside a wiki
+  "log" topic (see audit pattern below).
+
+To mark a post as wiki via the API (requires admin/moderator):
+```python
+requests.put(f"{URL}/posts/{post_id}.json", headers=H, json={"wiki": True})
+```
+
+### Pattern: post lifecycle (comment vs replace vs new)
+The golden rule: **never create a new topic for an update to existing
+knowledge.** One wiki topic per subsystem, updated in place.
+
+| Change type | Action | Why |
+|-------------|--------|-----|
+| Fact update (new VM, IP changed) | Edit the wiki post in place | Edit history preserves old state |
+| New snapshot (audit, drift report) | New reply in the existing log topic | One topic accumulates history |
+| Question/discussion about content | Reply to the relevant post | Threaded, doesn't mutate the doc |
+| Major restructure | Edit wiki + reply noting why | Edit log = what; reply = why |
+
+### Pattern: audit/snapshot logs
+Point-in-time reports (audits, drift reports, status snapshots) do NOT each
+get their own topic. Instead, create ONE wiki "log" topic per domain and
+append each snapshot as a dated reply:
+
+```
+[Wiki post #1]  Index table (date | scope | link | superseded-by)
+                + latest snapshot summary
+[Reply #2]      Audit 2026-07-29 — full content
+[Reply #3]      Audit 2026-07-30 — full content (supersedes #2)
+[Reply #4]      Audit 2026-08-05 — full content (current)
+```
+
+When a new snapshot arrives: add a reply with full content, then edit the
+wiki first post to point at the latest reply as "current."
+
+### Pattern: tag taxonomy
+Tags are cross-cutting classifiers that prevent category multiplication:
+
+| Tag | Meaning |
+|-----|---------|
+| `reference` | Living reference doc (inventories, topology, host lists) |
+| `runbook` | Operational procedure (deploy, recover, configure) |
+| `architecture` | Design doc, system architecture, capacity model |
+| `policy` | Naming conventions, security policies, standards |
+| `decision` | Resolved decision (ADR, distro choice, analysis outcome) |
+| `audit` | Point-in-time snapshot |
+| `security` | Security/hardening topic |
+
+### Pattern: category taxonomy
+Org-based hierarchy mirroring Known Element's VP seats:
+
+```
+ChiefOperationsOfficer (id 6)
+├── vp-techops     — infrastructure, network, compute, security ops
+└── vp-compliance  — frameworks, evidence, audit response
+
+Board (future)
+```
+
+Security operations (SecOps) lives under vp-techops (security is operational).
+Compliance covers frameworks (CMMC/STIG), evidence, and audit response.
+
+## Git workflow
+
+### Atomic commits
+Each commit is **one logical change** — one feature, one fix, one doc update.
+If you're tempted to write "and also..." in a commit message, that's a sign
+to split it into two commits. Stage precisely (`git add <file>`, not
+`git add -A`) so unrelated changes don't get bundled.
+
+### Conventional commit messages
+Use the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format:
+
+```
+<type>(<optional scope>): <imperative subject>
+
+<optional body — why, not what>
+```
+
+Types used in this repo: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `chore`, `style`.
+
+Rules:
+- Subject line **under 72 chars**, lowercase, imperative mood.
+- No period at end of subject.
+- Body wrapped at 72 chars, explains **why** the change exists.
+
+### Commit cadence
+- **Commit early and often.** Don't accumulate a pile of unrelated changes.
+- Commit **without asking** — if you made a coherent change, commit it.
+- Every task (topic review, reply, script addition, doc update) ends with
+  the relevant files committed.
+- Run `git status` before committing to stage only what belongs together.

+# discourse-cli
+
+A Docker container that lets an AI agent (or a human) read, post, reply,
+search, and discuss on a [Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/) forum through
+the Discourse REST API. A small Python CLI built on `requests`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Docker on the host.
+- A Discourse instance with API access enabled
+  (Admin → API → "All users" or "Single user" API key).
+- An API key and the username the key acts as.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Credentials live in the **centralized credential store** at
+`~/.creds/discourse.env` (see `tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager`). It holds:
+
+```
+DISCOURSE_URL=https://discourse.example.com
+DISCOURSE_API_KEY=abc123...
+DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME=your-username
+```
+
+Use `.env.example` in this directory as a template if you need to create one.
+Permissions: directory `700`, the env file `600` (owner read/write only).
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+docker build -t kneldevstack-aimiddleware-discourse-cli:latest .
+```
+
+A prebuilt image is also available in the Gitea registry:
+
+```
+git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Invoke the container directly with `docker run`. Pass credentials from the
+centralized store via `--env-file`:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest whoami
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest ls
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest show 42
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest create -c 5 -t "Hello" -b "Body text"
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/discourse.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/discourse-cli:latest reply 42 -b "Nice point"
+```
+
+To use a locally built image instead of the registry image, either set
+`DISCOURSE_CLI_IMAGE` or swap the image tag for `kneldevstack-aimiddleware-discourse-cli:latest`.

+# AGENTS.md — DNS CLI tooling
+
+This directory holds the `dns-cli` Docker container — a bash CLI over the
+Technitium DNS Server REST API. Every Crush session that works on or with
+this tool should read this file first.
+
+## Connection & invocation
+
+Invoke the real container with `docker run`. Credentials come from the
+centralized credential store (see `tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager`):
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest <command>
+```
+
+There is intentionally **no `bin/` wrapper** — invoke the real container, as
+the project-wide rules require. For readability in an interactive session you
+may define a throwaway shell alias (do not commit one):
+
+```bash
+alias dns='docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest'
+```
+
+The examples below write `dns <cmd>` for brevity; expand it to the full
+`docker run` line (or set the alias) before running.
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Instance | `http://pfv-netinfra-01.knel.net:5380` |
+| Default zone | `knel.net` |
+| Credentials | `~/.creds/technitium.env` (`TECHNITIUM_URL`, `TECHNITIUM_DNS_TOKEN`, `TECHNITIUM_DNS_ZONE`) |
+| CLI image | `git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest` |
+| Source | `src/dns_cli.sh` in this directory |
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# List all zones:
+dns zones
+
+# List records in the default zone:
+dns list
+
+# Search for a record:
+dns search ns1
+
+# Resolve a name:
+dns get pfv-netinfra-01
+```
+
+## Command reference
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `zones` | List all zones. |
+| `list [zone]` | List records in a zone (default: `TECHNITIUM_DNS_ZONE`). |
+| `get <name>` | Resolve a record via `dig` (A/AAAA). |
+| `add <name> <ip> [ttl]` | Add an A record with auto-PTR (default TTL 3600). |
+| `delete <name> <ip>` | Delete an A record. |
+| `flush` | Flush the DNS cache. |
+| `search <pattern>` | Search records by name pattern (case-insensitive). |
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Pattern: add a new DNS record
+1. `dns search <hostname>` — check if the name already exists.
+2. `dns add <hostname> <ip>` — creates the A record with auto-PTR.
+3. `dns get <hostname>` — verify resolution.
+4. `dns flush` — flush cache so the new record is immediately resolvable.
+
+### Pattern: before you act
+- Always `dns search <pattern>` or `dns list` before adding/deleting —
+  confirm current state so you don't create duplicates or delete the wrong
+  record.
+- **Never delete a record** unless the user explicitly asks.
+- PTR records are auto-created on `add` and auto-deleted on `delete`.
+
+## Git workflow
+
+### Atomic commits
+Each commit is **one logical change**. Stage precisely (`git add <file>`,
+not `git add -A`).
+
+### Conventional commit messages
+```
+<type>(<optional scope>): <imperative subject>
+
+<optional body — why, not what>
+```
+
+Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `chore`, `style`.
+
+- Subject line under 72 chars, lowercase, imperative mood.
+- No period at end of subject.
+- Body wrapped at 72 chars, explains **why** the change exists.

+# dns-cli
+
+A Docker container that lets an AI agent (or a human) manage DNS records on a
+[Technitium DNS Server](https://technitium.com/dns/) instance through its REST
+API. A small bash CLI built on `curl` + `python3` + `dig`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Docker on the host.
+- A Technitium DNS Server instance with the REST API enabled.
+- A DNS API token (Technitium → Settings → API Token).
+
+## Configuration
+
+Credentials live in the **centralized credential store** at
+`~/.creds/technitium.env` (see `tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager`). It holds:
+
+```
+TECHNITIUM_URL=http://pfv-netinfra-01:5380
+TECHNITIUM_DNS_TOKEN=your-api-token
+TECHNITIUM_DNS_ZONE=knel.net
+```
+
+Use `.env.example` in this directory as a template if you need to create one.
+Permissions: directory `700`, the env file `600` (owner read/write only).
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+docker build -t git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest .
+```
+
+The image is also available in the Gitea registry:
+
+```
+git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Invoke the container directly with `docker run`. Pass credentials from the
+centralized store via `--env-file`:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest zones
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest list
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest search ns1
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest add myhost 192.168.1.50
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest delete myhost 192.168.1.50
+
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/technitium.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/dns-cli:latest flush
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `zones` | List all zones. |
+| `list [zone]` | List records in a zone (default: `TECHNITIUM_DNS_ZONE`). |
+| `get <name>` | Resolve a record via `dig` (A/AAAA). |
+| `add <name> <ip> [ttl]` | Add an A record with auto-PTR (default TTL 3600). |
+| `delete <name> <ip>` | Delete an A record. |
+| `flush` | Flush the DNS cache. |
+| `search <pattern>` | Search records by name pattern (case-insensitive). |
+
+## Environment variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `TECHNITIUM_URL` | yes | Base URL of the Technitium instance. |
+| `TECHNITIUM_DNS_TOKEN` | yes | API token for the DNS REST API. |
+| `TECHNITIUM_DNS_ZONE` | yes | Default zone for add/delete/search operations. |

+# AGENTS.md — Redmine CLI tooling
+
+This directory holds the `redmine-cli` Docker container — a thin Python CLI
+over `python-redmine` for Redmine issue tracking. Every Crush session that
+works on or with this tool should read this file first: how to invoke it,
+what commands exist, what gotchas to avoid, and the patterns to follow for
+common ticket operations.
+
+## Connection & invocation
+
+Invoke the real container with `docker run`. Credentials come from the
+centralized credential store (see `tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager`):
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest <command>
+```
+
+There is intentionally **no `bin/` wrapper** — invoke the real container, as
+the project-wide rules require. For readability in an interactive session you
+may define a throwaway shell alias (do not commit one):
+
+```bash
+alias redmine='docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest'
+```
+
+The examples below write `redmine <cmd>` for brevity; expand it to the full
+`docker run` line (or set the alias) before running.
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Instance | `https://projects.knownelement.com` |
+| API user | Charles N (id 5, login `reachableceo`) |
+| Credentials | `~/.creds/redmine.env` (`REDMINE_URL`, `REDMINE_API_KEY`) |
+| CLI image | `git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest` |
+| Source | `src/redmine_cli.py` in this directory |
+
+To use a locally built image instead of the registry image, either set
+`REDMINE_CLI_IMAGE` or swap the tag for `kneldevstack-aimiddleware-redmine-cli:latest`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# Connection sanity check (run this first in any session):
+redmine whoami
+
+# Look at a ticket:
+redmine show 314
+
+# Your queue:
+redmine list --assigned-to-me
+```
+
+## Command reference
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `whoami` | Authenticated user + connection test. |
+| `projects` | List projects (id, identifier, name). |
+| `statuses` | List issue statuses + which are "closed". |
+| `list` (`ls`) | List issues. Filters below. |
+| `show <id>` | Full issue detail incl. note history. |
+| `create` | Create an issue. |
+| `update <id>` | Update an issue (status, notes, assignee, done, ...). |
+| `close <id>` | Close (first closed status, done ratio 100%). |
+
+### `list` filters
+- `-m, --assigned-to-me` — only issues assigned to you
+- `-a, --assigned-to <id>` — filter by assignee user id
+- `-p, --project <id|slug>` — filter by project
+- `-s, --status <name|id|open|closed>` — filter by status
+- `-l, --limit <n>` — max results (default 50)
+- `--sort <spec>` — Redmine sort spec (default `priority:desc,updated_on:desc`)
+
+### `create` options
+- `-p, --project <id|slug>` **required**
+- `-s, --subject` **required**
+- `-d, --description`
+- `-a, --assigned-to <id>`
+- `-t, --tracker <id>`
+- `--priority <id>`
+- `--status <name|id>`
+
+### `update` options
+- `-s, --status <name|id>`
+- `-n, --notes <text>`
+- `-a, --assigned-to <id>`
+- `--done-ratio <0-100>`
+- `--subject`
+- `--priority <id>`
+
+## Key project / tracker / status IDs
+
+### Most-used projects
+| ID | Identifier | Name |
+|----|------------|------|
+| 55 | `technicaloperations` | Known Element Enterprises - Technology & Facility Services |
+| 62 | `business-operations` | Known Element Enterprises - Business Services |
+| 77 | `tsys-group` | TSYS Group |
+
+Run `redmine projects` for the full list.
+
+### Statuses
+| ID | Name | Closed? |
+|----|------|---------|
+| 1 | New | no |
+| 2 | In Progress | no |
+| 3 | Resolved | yes |
+| 4 | Feedback | no |
+| 5 | Closed | yes |
+| 6 | Rejected | no |
+
+### Trackers
+Tracker 3 = **Support** (the most common one in project 55). Inspect a
+parent issue to inherit its exact tracker.
+
+## Gotcha: creating subtasks
+
+`redmine create` has **no `--parent` flag**. To create a subtask of an
+existing issue you must use `python-redmine` directly inside the container
+(via `--entrypoint python`).
+
+Pattern (mount a script and run it in the same image):
+
+```bash
+cat > /tmp/script.py <<'PY'
+import os
+from redminelib import Redmine
+
+rm = Redmine(os.environ["REDMINE_URL"].rstrip("/"), key=os.environ["REDMINE_API_KEY"])
+
+issue = rm.issue.create(
+    project_id=55,          # inherit from parent
+    tracker_id=3,           # inherit from parent

+
+## Patterns
+
+### Pattern: review & split a ticket
+1. `redmine show <id>` — read the full ticket (description + history).
+2. Identify the **distinct bodies of work**. Each should be independently
+   trackable and assignable.
+3. Map out **dependencies** between the pieces (what blocks what).
+4. Propose a split to the user as a table: proposed subject, scope, and
+   dependencies. Wait for approval before creating anything.
+5. On approval: create subtasks (see "Gotcha: creating subtasks" above),
+   inheriting project/tracker/priority/assignee from the parent.
+6. Update the parent's **description** to an index table of children +
+   recommended execution order. Add a note explaining the split.
+7. Verify with `redmine show <parent_id>`.
+
+### Pattern: ticket conventions
+- **Subject prefix:** OAM-pool tickets use `OAM: <topic>`. Match the parent's
+  naming convention if one exists.
+- **Description header:** always start with `Parent/umbrella: #<id> (<subject>).`
+- **Scope section:** bullet list of concrete deliverables. Use `- [ ]` for
+  checklist items within a subtask.
+- **Dependencies section:** list what the ticket depends on and what it blocks,
+  referencing ticket numbers once they exist.
+- **Newly created children** go to status **Feedback (4)** so they're visible
+  but not yet "in progress".
+- **Tables** in descriptions render in Redmine's Markdown pipeline (`| a | b |`).
+
+### Pattern: bulk operations
+For anything beyond a single `create`/`update`/`close`, write a Python script
+and run it inside the container as shown in the subtask gotcha above. This
+applies to: batch status changes, bulk ticket creation, inspecting parent
+attributes, relationship wiring, etc.
+
+### Pattern: before you act
+- Always `redmine show <id>` before updating — confirm current status,
+  assignee, and existing notes so you don't clobber context.
+- Never delete or close a ticket unless the user explicitly asks.
+- When in doubt about project/tracker/priority, inherit from the parent or
+  ask the user.
+
+## Git workflow
+
+### Atomic commits
+Each commit is **one logical change** — one feature, one fix, one doc update.
+If you're tempted to write "and also..." in a commit message, that's a sign
+to split it into two commits. Stage precisely (`git add <file>`, not
+`git add -A`) so unrelated changes don't get bundled.
+
+### Conventional commit messages
+Use the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format:
+
+```
+<type>(<optional scope>): <imperative subject>
+
+<optional body — why, not what>
+```
+
+Types used in this repo: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `chore`, `style`.
+
+Rules:
+- Subject line **under 72 chars**, lowercase, imperative mood.
+- No period at end of subject.
+- Body wrapped at 72 chars, explains **why** the change exists.
+
+### Commit cadence
+- **Commit early and often.** Don't accumulate a pile of unrelated changes.
+- Commit **without asking** — if you made a coherent change, commit it.
+- Every task (ticket review, split, script addition, doc update) ends with
+  the relevant files committed.
+- Run `git status` before committing to stage only what belongs together.

 ## Configuration
 
-Copy the env template and fill in real values (the `.env` is gitignored):
+Credentials live in the **centralized credential store** at
+`~/.creds/redmine.env` (see `tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager`). It holds:
 
-```bash
-cp .env.example .env
-# then edit .env:
-#   REDMINE_URL=https://your-redmine.example.com
-#   REDMINE_API_KEY=abc123...
 ```
+REDMINE_URL=https://your-redmine.example.com
+REDMINE_API_KEY=abc123...
+```
+
+Use `.env.example` in this directory as a template if you need to create one.
+Permissions: directory `700`, the env file `600` (owner read/write only).

 ## Usage
 
-### Via the repo wrapper (loads `.env` automatically)
+Invoke the container directly with `docker run`. Pass credentials from the
+centralized store via `--env-file`:
 
 ```bash
-bin/redmine whoami
+docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
-bin/redmine list --assigned-to-me
+    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest whoami
