[Enhancement] `CommandPalette` poll creation has no backend integration

[RUKAYAT-CODER]

Overview

src/components/CommandPalette.tsx line 322 has a TODO comment indicating that poll creation needs to be connected to a backend. Currently the UI for creating polls is present but submitting a poll does nothing — the data is never persisted and no participants see the poll.

Specifications

Features:

• Poll creation via the command palette persists the poll to the backend
• Participants in the current session see the poll in real time via WebSocket

Tasks:

• Create src/app/api/polls/route.ts with POST (create) and GET (list) handlers
• Store polls in a polls database table with fields: id, question, options, course_id, created_by, created_at
• In the command palette submit handler, call the polls API and broadcast the new poll via Socket.io
• Update the WebSocket server to handle poll:created and poll:vote events

Impacted Files:

• src/components/CommandPalette.tsx
• src/app/api/polls/ (new)

Acceptance Criteria

• Creating a poll via the command palette persists it to the database
• Poll appears for other connected participants within 1 second
• No TODO comment remains in CommandPalette.tsx related to poll creation
