Add Rules & Expectations feature with TV overlay and dashboard layout updates

- Add Rules & Expectations admin section with drag-to-reorder, add/edit/delete
- Add Overlays card to Dashboard with Rules/Expectations toggle button (LIVE badge when active)
- Add full-screen rules overlay on TV view (green theme, numbered list, tap to dismiss)
- Backend: new RuleItem model, /api/rules CRUD + bulk reorder, /api/overlays WS broadcast endpoints
- Schedule store handles show_rules / hide_rules WebSocket events
- Rearrange Dashboard top row: TV Dashboard | 3 Strikes | Overlays (3-col, mobile stacks)
- Put Today's Session and Today's Schedule side-by-side at 50/50 width (mobile stacks)
- Update README with all new features, setup steps, WS events, and project structure

 - **Morning Routine** — Define a list of morning routine items in Admin. They appear in the TV dashboard Activities panel during the "Good Morning" greeting before the first block starts, then switch to subject-specific activities once a block begins.
 - **Break Time** — Each schedule block can optionally include a break at the end. Enable the checkbox and set a duration (in minutes) when building a block in Admin. Once the block's main timer is done, a **Break Time** section appears on the Dashboard with its own **Start / Pause / Resume / Reset** controls — the break does not start automatically. While break is active the TV left column switches to an amber break badge and countdown timer, and the center column shows the configurable **Break Activities** list instead of subject options. Break timer state is fully restored when navigating away and returning to the dashboard.
 - **Break Activities** — A global list of break-time activities (e.g. "Get a snack", "Go outside") managed in Admin → Break Activities, using the same add/edit/delete interface as Morning Routine. These items are shown on the TV during any active break.
+- **Rules & Expectations** — Define a list of household rules or expectations in Admin → Rules & Expectations. Items can be reordered by dragging with the handle on the left. From the Dashboard, press the **Rules/Expectations** button in the Overlays card to show them as a full-screen numbered overlay on the TV. The button turns highlighted with a pulsing **LIVE** badge while the overlay is active. Press it again to dismiss. Tapping anywhere on the TV overlay also dismisses it locally.
+- **Dashboard Overlays** — A dedicated card on the parent Dashboard groups controls that push full-screen content to the TV. Currently contains the Rules/Expectations overlay button; designed to accommodate additional overlay types in the future.
 - **Day Progress Bar** — Both the TV dashboard and the parent dashboard display a progress bar showing how far through the day the child is. Progress is calculated from total scheduled block time vs. remaining block time — not wall-clock time — so it advances only as blocks are actively worked. On the TV the bar is labeled **Start** and **Finish**. On the parent dashboard the left label shows the scheduled start time of the first block and the right label shows a live-updating **estimated finish time** computed as the current time plus all remaining block time and break time for incomplete blocks.
 - **Schedule Builder** — Create named schedule templates with time blocks assigned to subjects. Each block supports an optional custom duration override, label, and break time setting. Managed inside the Admin page.
 - **Daily Sessions** — Start a school day against a schedule template. Click any block in the list to select it as the current block. Use the **Start** button to begin timing, **Pause** to stop, **Resume** to continue from where you left off, **Done** to mark it as fully complete, and **Reset** to clear the elapsed time back to zero (timer stays paused). Elapsed time per block is remembered across switches, so returning to a block picks up where it left off.
