mrcharles 6a38b4443c docs(agents): cross-linking house rule + mastodon post tool [#743][#441]
Clickable-refs mandate from Charles: ticket comments link commits,
commit bodies link the Redmine comment URL, Discourse links both —
one click between Redmine/Gitea/Discourse (GLPI/CMDB change control
will extend this). Mechanical body-URL check queued under #441.
scripts/mastodon/post.sh: zero-install curl poster; creds land in
~/.creds/mastodon.env (MASTODON_URL/MASTODON_TOKEN, write scope).

# post.sh — post a work-update status to Mastodon [#743]
#
# Zero-install: uses curl against the Mastodon REST API (host-hygiene
# compliant — no packages on the host). Credentials come from the
# centralized store:
# ~/.creds/mastodon.env (MASTODON_URL, MASTODON_TOKEN)
# Token needs write scope; create via Mastodon → Preferences → Development.
#
# Usage:
# post.sh [-v public|unlisted|private|direct] "status text (<=500 chars)"
#
