🌟 What's New

• 🛡️ Anti-Duplicate Voting: Viewers cannot vote more than once per poll (tracked by normalized platform and username).

• ⏱️ Flexible Duration: Choose custom time limits in seconds or minutes with live countdown and progress bar, or run an Indefinite Poll that you end manually.
• 🏆 Interactive Overlay Card: Live animated vote bars, percentage breakdowns, leading/winner highlights, and quick End/Dismiss buttons.
