Problem

The polls are always open — no sense of urgency or finality. The bachelor party needs a hard close time.

Proposed Solution

  • Add an optional pollDeadline timestamp in votes.json
  • Display a countdown timer in the status bar: "⏱ 2d 14h left to vote"
  • When <1 hour remains, turn the countdown amber
  • When <10 min, turn red and pulse
  • When time expires, auto-close polls and show a "Results are in!" banner
  • Admin can set/clear deadline via API or admin panel

Acceptance Criteria

  • Countdown displays in status bar when deadline is set
  • Color changes at <1hr (amber) and <10min (red)
  • Polls auto-close when deadline passes
  • Clear "Results" view replaces voting UI after close
