feat(openviking): deploy maelstrom-ui Web Studio frontend

- Build/push image: the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud/library/maelstrom-ui:v0.3.17-1
  (upstream volcengine/openviking web-studio/, pinned to commit 3cd1d4e9)
- Deployment + Service serving the static SPA via nginx (reverse-proxies
  /api, /health, /ready to openviking backend; /bot deliberately NOT proxied)
- Ingress at maelstrom.local.mk-labs.cloud (TLS via letsencrypt-internal)
- ExternalSecret wiring scoped maelstrom-ui-key from
  op://mk-labs/openviking/maelstrom-ui-key into the pod env (MAELSTROM_UI_KEY)
