chore: initial commit of Go API gateway
Baseline for the Kong replacement on api.riotpiao.com. Brings the working
tree under version control for the first time: gateway source, the task
board that drives the agent runs, test fixtures, and K8s manifests.

Anchor the gateway ignore rule to the repo root. Unanchored, "gateway"
also matched the cmd/gateway/ source directory, so the program entrypoint
was excluded from every commit.

# 1.2 — Streaming passthrough (RED)
Phase: 1 — Proxy core
Stage: RED
Depends on: [1.1](1.1-reverse-proxy.md)
- [ ] An SSE response from an upstream reaches the client unbuffered: each `data:` event is readable by the client before the upstream has sent the next one
- [ ] A chunked response reaches the client chunk by chunk, not accumulated and flushed at completion
- [ ] Response headers reach the client before the first body byte, not after
- [ ] `Content-Type: text/event-stream` and the upstream's `Cache-Control` and `Connection` semantics survive the proxy
- [ ] No response body is written to memory or disk in full before forwarding
- [ ] The terminating `data: [DONE]` sentinel and the final zero-length chunk pass through
- [ ] A test asserts wall-clock ordering: the Nth event is observed at the client before the upstream emits the N+1th
The whole product is token streaming. If the gateway buffers, a caller waits minutes
for a response that should have started in seconds, and the user-visible behaviour of
the model API regresses versus Kong. nginx in front is already configured with
`proxy-buffering: off`; the gateway must not reintroduce buffering behind it.
## Verify
```bash
go test ./internal/proxy/... -run TestSSEUnbuffered -v
# expected: passes — client observes each of 5 stub-emitted SSE events with the
# upstream still open, and total observed inter-event gaps match the stub's emit delays
```
