Turn a VKS blueprint into a real LAB write path

I did not want another static Kubernetes page that looked right and taught nothing. I wanted one small path that starts in the LAB dashboard, writes to a real workload in the Countries org, and comes back visible enough that you can trust what happened.

So I kept the scope tight. The VKS app was already deployed. The next move was to reuse the existing /vcenter-vks lane, point it at the Countries namespace, and give it one honest action: write a row, then show the row.

I reused the LAB on-prem command route instead of building a side API because that route already carries the operator story. If a row gets written from this page, it should travel through the same command lane the rest of the private dashboard uses.

The database write itself stays private. LAB reaches the Countries Postgres tier through the supervisor lane, writes one row into workload_events, and then the preview route shows the result back in the page.

I wanted two pieces of proof. First, the command path had to return the inserted row with a new id. Second, the preview had to show that row without me hand-waving over the result. Once both of those were visible, the feature was real enough to keep.

That is where I stopped on purpose. Part 2 should take the same app and add a second lesson, probably an API-side write or a multi-lane signal that shows the same event surfacing somewhere else without losing the VCF center of gravity.
