Marcos Paulo e2bcfff5ab feat: add reader vote widget and vote-service
The skills-review desk is static, so "which draft would you ship?" needs a
stateful counterpart. vote-service is a small Go API on its own pod backed by
a JSON file on a ReadWriteOnce PVC, with one active vote per skill per source
IP as the anti-abuse rule and CORS (ALLOWED_ORIGIN) as the caller boundary.

Deployment notes that differ from the obvious path, all confirmed against the
live cluster: the image is side-loaded with `ctr image import` plus
`imagePullPolicy: Never` because kubelet has no credentials for the Nexus ref;
the pod is pinned to `kubernets` because the hostpath PV takes a nodeAffinity
for whichever node first binds it; and public exposure is Caddy on the VPS,
not the cloudflared tunnel.

The ingress controller runs with `use-forwarded-headers` off, so nginx
overwrites X-Forwarded-For with its own peer — every visitor would collapse
into one voter and each skill would cap at one vote overall. Caddy stamps the
true remote address into X-Client-IP, which nginx forwards untouched, and
clientIP() reads that first. Scoped to this app rather than flipping the
global flag, which would change client-IP handling for every other ingress.

// Command vote-service is a tiny, dependency-free HTTP API that lets the
// skills-review page (a static site) collect "prefer original / prefer
// improved" votes per submitted skill.
//
// It is intentionally minimal: one Go binary, no external dependencies, one
// JSON file on disk as the store. That fits the workshop scale of this
// feature (dozens of voters, not thousands) and keeps the container image
// and the Kubernetes footprint small.
//
// Vote identity: HTTP does not expose a client's MAC address to a server
// across the internet (that is a link-layer detail, invisible past the
// first router), so "same source" is approximated with the caller's IP
// address, read from X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP when the service sits
// behind an ingress, falling back to the raw remote address. One IP may
// hold at most one active vote per skill; casting a new choice updates that
// vote instead of adding a second one. A client-supplied X-Voter-Id header
// (a random id the frontend keeps in localStorage) is layered on top only
// to let a browser recognize and display its own prior vote — it is not
// trusted as the sole anti-abuse signal, since it is trivially resettable.
