feat: Enhance Governance Controller and Proposal Handling

- Improve proposal search to include description field: This
  allows for more comprehensive search results.
- Fix redirect after voting: The redirect now correctly handles
  the success message.
- Handle potential invalid timestamps in ballots: The code now
  gracefully handles ballots with invalid timestamps, preventing
  crashes and using the current time as a fallback.
- Add local time formatting function:  This provides a way to
  display dates and times in the user's local timezone.
- Update database path: This simplifies the database setup.
- Improve proposal vote handling: Addresses issues with vote
  submission and timestamping.
- Add client-side pagination and filtering to proposal details:
  Improves user experience for viewing large vote lists.
