- Add notes via comments on records

- Track status (Draft → Review → Published)
- Filter by date and platform
- Link to published posts

### As a Project Tracker

## Guidelines
1. Rate limit: 5 requests/second per base
2. Max 10 records per create/update/delete batch
3. Use `AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORDS` (not the deprecated singular versions)
4. Always get the base schema first to understand available tables and fields
5. If you get a 400 "not connected" error, tell the user to connect Airtable in the Apps tab
