Subject: [PATCH] excalidraw: grant emo-browser SA port-forward for drawing
 uploads

Viktor asked to fix emo's permission so his Claude can upload to the
Excalidraw service. emo's recent sessions show the documented upload
recipe (kubectl port-forward svc/draw + X-Authentik-Username header,
from his ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) failing with:

  pods/portforward forbidden for system:serviceaccount:chrome-service:emo-browser
  in namespace excalidraw

because his default kubeconfig is the read-only emo-browser SA (its
port-forward grant covers only chrome-service) and his old admin
kubeconfig at /home/emo/code/config expired and was removed.

Add a namespace-scoped Role (pods/portforward create) + RoleBinding for
that SA in the excalidraw namespace, mirroring the 2026-06-28
chrome-service grant. Trade-off (any-user drawings via the trusted
username header) documented in the file and accepted.

Also record the grant in docs/architecture/chrome-service.md.

+# documented recipe in emo's ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md — the app sits behind Authentik

+# (Viktor's call, 2026-07-02; same pattern as the chrome-service one).
+#
+# TRADE-OFF (accepted): port-forward into this namespace bypasses the Authentik
+# ingress and the drawings API trusts the X-Authentik-Username header, so the SA
+# can read/write ANY user's drawings, not only emo's. The namespace runs nothing
+# but the drawings app, and the same class of trade-off was already accepted for
