feat: announce on Discourse support forum (#17)
Node.js CI / CI (push) Successful in 53s
Security Scan and Upload / Security & DefectDojo Upload (push) Successful in 2m32s

## Summary

- Adds `announceOnDiscourse` module to post announcements to the NHCarrigan Discourse support forum (category 16), tagged by announcement type
- Adds `chunkContent` utility to split long announcements at paragraph/line boundaries for Discord (2000 chars), Reddit (40,000 chars), and Discourse (32,000 chars); Reddit overflows chain as nested replies, Discord as sequential messages, Discourse as sequential replies
- Refactors the announcement route to run all platforms concurrently via `Promise.allSettled`, ensuring a failure on any one platform never blocks the others, with all results reported back
- Fixes generation failure response from incorrect `201` to `500`
