mrcharles 67f8056e0b refactor(tooling): merge redmine-cli into tooling-cli/redmine

Consolidate the redmine-cli source into tooling-cli/redmine/
(CLI source, Dockerfile, README, AGENTS.md) with all documentation
rewritten to invoke the container via raw docker run and credentials
from the centralized ~/.creds/redmine.env store. No bin/ wrapper, no
system-dependent paths in the docs.

Removes the old redmine-cli/ subdirectory, updates the
KNELCredsManager consumer table, and updates STATUS.md + AGENTS.md
to reference the new location and registry image.

redmine-cli

A Docker container that lets an AI agent (or a human) access, edit, and close Redmine issues through the Redmine REST API. Built on the python-redmine library with a small command-line wrapper.

Requirements

Docker on the host.
A Redmine instance with REST web services enabled (Administration → Settings → API → Enable REST API).
A Redmine API key for the user the agent will act as (My account → API access key → Show / Reset).

Configuration

Credentials live in the centralized credential store at ~/.creds/redmine.env (see tooling-cli/KNELCredsManager). It holds:

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).

Build

docker build -t kneldevstack-aimiddleware-redmine-cli:latest .

A prebuilt image is also available in the Gitea registry:

git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest

Usage

Invoke the container directly with docker run. Pass credentials from the centralized store via --env-file:

docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest whoami

docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest list --assigned-to-me

docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest show 123

docker run --rm --env-file ~/.creds/redmine.env \
    git.knownelement.com/reachableceo/redmine-cli:latest close 123 --notes "work complete"

To use a locally built image instead of the registry image, either set REDMINE_CLI_IMAGE or swap the image tag for kneldevstack-aimiddleware-redmine-cli:latest.
