feat: edu-search-service migriert, voice-service/geo-service entfernt

- edu-search-service von breakpilot-pwa nach breakpilot-lehrer kopiert (ohne vendor) - opensearch + edu-search-service in docker-compose.yml hinzugefuegt - voice-service aus docker-compose.yml entfernt (jetzt in breakpilot-core) - geo-service aus docker-compose.yml entfernt (nicht mehr benoetigt) - CI/CD: edu-search-service zu Gitea Actions und Woodpecker hinzugefuegt (Go lint, test mit go mod download, build, SBOM) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# edu-search-service
+
+Spezialisierter Suchdienst für deutsche Bildungsinhalte - eine Alternative zu Tavily, optimiert für den deutschen Bildungssektor.
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Der edu-search-service crawlt, extrahiert und indiziert Bildungsinhalte von deutschen Bildungsquellen (Kultusministerien, Bildungsserver, wissenschaftliche Studien, etc.) und stellt eine Such-API bereit.
+
+### Features
+
+- **BM25 Keyword-Suche** mit German Analyzer (OpenSearch)
+- **Semantic Search** mit Embeddings (OpenAI oder Ollama)
+- **Hybrid Search** kombiniert BM25 + Vektor-Ähnlichkeit
+- **Automatisches Tagging** für Dokumenttyp, Fächer, Schulstufe, Bundesland
+- **Trust-Score** basierend auf Domain-Reputation und Content-Qualität
+- **Rate-Limited Crawler** mit robots.txt Respekt
+- **Admin API** für Seed-Verwaltung und Crawl-Steuerung
+
+## Architektur

+## Komponenten
+
+### Crawler (`internal/crawler/`)
+- Rate-Limited HTTP Client (Standard: 0.2 req/sec pro Domain)
+- Denylist-Support für ungewünschte Domains
+- **Seeds aus Backend-API** (primär) oder lokale Seed-Files (Fallback)
+- URL-Normalisierung und Deduplication
+- Seed-Metadaten: Trust-Boost, Crawl-Tiefe, Kategorie, Bundesland
+- **Crawl-Status-Feedback** an Backend (Dokumentenzahl, Dauer, Fehler)
+
+### Robots (`internal/robots/`)
+- **robots.txt Parser** mit Caching (24h TTL)
+- Unterstützt `Disallow`, `Allow`, `Crawl-delay`
+- Wildcard-Patterns (`*`) und End-Anchors (`$`)
+- User-Agent-spezifische Regeln
+- Leniente Behandlung bei fehlenden robots.txt
+
+### Extractor (`internal/extractor/`)
+- HTML-Extraktion mit goquery
+- **PDF-Textextraktion** mit ledongthuc/pdf Bibliothek
+  - `ExtractPDF()` - Standard-Extraktion mit GetPlainText
+  - `ExtractPDFWithMetadata()` - Seiten-weise Extraktion für mehr Kontrolle

+
+### Beispiel: doc_type_rules.yaml
+
+```yaml
+doc_types:
+  Lehrplan:
+    strong_terms:
+      - Lehrplan
+      - Kernlehrplan
+      - Bildungsplan
