Add Windows 11 / Coder two-hop port-forward guide + Keycloak troubleshooting
What
Adds documentation for students on Windows 11 without Coder Connect/Coder Desktop, plus a troubleshooting section covering a Keycloak config issue that caused a blank screen / login failure.
Why
Hit this working through the teams-management workshop on Windows 11 Pro. Coder Connect wouldn't reliably resolve the workspace hostname, so I used a two-hop port-forward pattern (kubectl port-forward in the workspace + coder port-forward in PowerShell) to reach the API, UI, and Keycloak via localhost. Got everything working end-to-end (API + UI + Keycloak login) and wrote up what it took so other Windows students don't hit the same wall.
Changes to README_Teams_Management_UI.md
Known bugs flagged (not fixed in this PR, just documented)
---separator between the realm ConfigMap and the second (CORS-enhanced) Deployment block, which breakskubectl apply.http://fernando-pe-arch.coder:<port>).Happy to open a follow-up PR fixing the YAML bugs directly if useful — let me know.
