fix: await Discord SDK voice subscribes and add missing Activity API endpoints

- Await SPEAKING_START/SPEAKING_STOP subscribes so try-catch handles 4006 scope errors
- Add GET /api/feed and POST /api/feed/:id/like (community posts alias for Activity)
- Add DELETE /api/activity/polls/:id (soft-delete via is_active=false)
- Add POST /api/activity/challenges/:id/claim (marks challenge progress as completed)
- Add GET /api/activity/badges (all badges, no userId required)

 ## Quick Start Guide
 
-This guide will help you set up and run the AeThex Developer Platform locally.
+This guide will help you set up and run the AeThex platform locally on your machine.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 1. **Node.js** (v18 or higher)
-   - [Download Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
-   - Includes npm (Node Package Manager)
+   - Download from: https://nodejs.org/
+   - This will also install npm (Node Package Manager)
 
-2. **Git** (recommended for updates)
-   - [Download Git](https://git-scm.com/)
+2. **Git** (optional, if you want to clone updates)
+   - Download from: https://git-scm.com/
 
 ## Installation Steps
 
 ### 1. Install Node.js
-
-- Download and install the LTS version from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/)
-- Follow the setup wizard
-- Restart your terminal after installation
+- Visit https://nodejs.org/ and download the LTS version
+- Run the installer and follow the setup wizard
+- Restart your terminal/PowerShell after installation
 
 ### 2. Verify Installation
-
-Open your terminal and run:
-
-```bash
+Open PowerShell or Command Prompt and run:
+```powershell
 node --version
 npm --version
 ```
-
 You should see version numbers (e.g., v20.x.x and 10.x.x)
 
 ### 3. Install Project Dependencies
-
 Navigate to the project folder and install dependencies:
-
-```bash
-cd /path/to/aethex-forge
+```powershell
+cd C:\Users\PCOEM\Downloads\aethex-forge\aethex-forge
 npm install
 ```
-
 This may take a few minutes as it downloads all required packages.
 
 ### 4. Set Up Environment Variables
-
-Create a `.env` file in the root directory (`aethex-forge/`) with the following variables:

 ## Available Commands
 
-- `npm run dev` – Start development server (default: port 5000)
-- `npm run build` – Build for production
-- `npm start` – Start production server
-- `npm run typecheck` – Check TypeScript types
-- `npm test` – Run tests

 ## Getting Supabase Credentials
 
 If you don't have Supabase credentials yet:
 
-1. Go to [supabase.com](https://supabase.com/)
-2. Create a free account and project
-3. In your project, go to **Settings → API**
-4. Copy:
+1. Go to https://supabase.com/
+2. Create a free account
+3. Create a new project
+4. Go to Project Settings → API
+5. Copy:
    - Project URL → `VITE_SUPABASE_URL` and `SUPABASE_URL`
-   - `anon` public key → `VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`
-   - `service_role` secret key → `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE`
+   - `anon` `public` key → `VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`
+   - `service_role` `secret` key → `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE`
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Port Already in Use
-
 If port 5000 is already in use, you can change it in `vite.config.ts`:
-
 ```typescript
 server: {
-   port: 5001, // Change to any available port
+  port: 5001, // Change to any available port
 }
 ```
 
 ### Module Not Found Errors
-
 Try deleting `node_modules` and `package-lock.json`, then run `npm install` again:
-
-```bash
-rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
+```powershell
+Remove-Item -Recurse -Force node_modules
+Remove-Item package-lock.json
 npm install
 ```
 
 ### Environment Variables Not Loading
-
-- Ensure `.env` is in the root `aethex-forge` directory
+- Make sure `.env` file is in the root `aethex-forge` directory
 - Restart the dev server after adding new environment variables
 - Variables starting with `VITE_` are exposed to the client
