When topic voting vote limits are disabled, the "Notify me about new posts" prom…pt shown after voting never appeared. That prompt is part of the menu the vote button opens, but the menu was only rendered when vote limits were enabled — with limits off the button had no menu at all, so both the notification prompt and the remove-vote action were unreachable. The fix renders the menu for any signed-in user rather than gating it on vote limits. The remaining-votes rows stay tied to limits being enabled, while remove-vote and watch-topic show whenever the user has voted. Removing a vote with limits disabled now goes through the menu, matching the behavior when limits are enabled. Reported at https://meta.discourse.org/t/disabling-vote-limits-seems-to-break-notification-prompt-in-topic-voting/407512 The second commit is follow-up housekeeping on the plugin, kept separate from the fix: removing dead code and duplication in the vote components and initializers, counting a user's votes with `COUNT` instead of loading every row on each current-user serialization, and deleting orphaned i18n keys and a route-map filename left over from the plugin's former name. ### Testing - Added a system spec covering the notification prompt appearing after voting with vote limits disabled. - Existing topic-voting system and JS specs pass; the model spec still covers the trust-level-0 lock via `reached_voting_limit?`.
