Subject: [PATCH] Add url-encode-password.sh helper
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Prompts for a password without echoing, URL-encodes it via Python's
urllib.parse.quote, and prints the result with a ready-to-paste .env
snippet.  Password is passed via environment variable to avoid any
shell quoting or injection issues — never written to disk or network.
