feat(ui): completed-only view + inline verdict + no polling

Two product simplifications per user feedback:

1. TopicList shows ONLY completed debates. Status filter dropdown
   removed — debates in earlier lifecycle states (signup / debating)
   are agent internals; human readers care about the finished record.
   API call hardcodes status=completed. Page title is now 'completed
   debates' + 'archive' eyebrow.

2. TopicDetail merges verdict inline. Loads topic + arguments +
   verdict concurrently on mount, renders transcript followed by
   structured verdict + judge rationale on the same page. Drops the
   8-second polling loop (completed debates don't change).

The /topics/:id/verdict route is kept as a shareable permalink for
the verdict alone, but the in-page link to it from the detail view
is gone since the same content is already there.

Build delta: 179 → 178 KB / gzip 57.70 → 57.40 (-300 bytes; one
less route imported on the critical path).
