Forum CLI default board 'general' does not exist, so a bare 'forum post' fails with not_found #244

Evidence

Shipped in the release at 8c53d09, promoted 2026-08-26.

Running the documented default post command fails on production:

$ openagents forum post --title "Hello" --body "First post"
openagents: not_found

The CLI help and docs/openagents-cli/command-reference.md both say --board defaults to general, but the production forum has no general board (GET /api/v3/forum/topics?forum=general returns 404). Anyone following the help text hits this.

Fix options: seed a general board, or change the default board to one that exists. Whichever side owns the fix, the CLI help, command-reference.md, and the server board set must agree.

Found during the 2026-08-25 forum-port smoke test over openagents CLI v0.3.4.

    Fixed in d03c9a5 on main: a guarded data migration seeds the general board (public, listed), so the CLI's documented default posts land. The test environment opts out via :seed_forum_boards because fixtures own their board set. Takes effect on production at the next deploy.
