Use one complete AbilityDefinition to ResolvedAbility conversion path.

These assignments copy optional_player, but the two inline literals and resolved_from_def remain partial converters. They still set optional_for to None and omit fields such as target_chooser, repeat_for, unless_pay, else_ability, and nested player_scope. A vote sub-effect that contains one of these fields loses resolution metadata.

Reuse crate::game::ability_utils::build_resolved_from_def for all vote sub-effect paths. Apply only vote-specific overrides such as targets, scoped_player, and original_controller. Remove the duplicate converter and add coverage for the player-scope, aggregate-tally, and per-ballot paths. The shared builder already propagates these fields. (github.com)

As per path instructions: “Before implementing new logic, search for and reuse the documented building blocks; trace an analogous feature end-to-end before extending the architecture.”

Also applies to: 447-447, 692-692

In `@crates/engine/src/game/effects/vote.rs` at line 376, Replace the duplicate
AbilityDefinition-to-ResolvedAbility conversion logic in the vote sub-effect
paths, including the inline literals and resolved_from_def, with
crate::game::ability_utils::build_resolved_from_def. Preserve only vote-specific
overrides such as targets, scoped_player, and original_controller, and ensure
player-scope, aggregate-tally, and per-ballot paths retain all shared resolution
metadata.
