Subject: [PATCH] fix(monitoring): use short service name for irc-notify
 IRC_HOST
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CoreDNS iamworkin.lan template + ndots:5 was hijacking
unrealircd.irc.svc.cluster.local lookups → Traefik VIP → timeout.
Every alert since ~2026-04-09 silently failed with "IRC send failed: timed out",
which also killed the thermal-printer path (routed through irc-notify).

Same fix pattern as guacamole@28b7600.
