refactor: move reaction to separate action.yml step for instant feedback

Move the emoji reaction from TypeScript code to a separate github-script
step in action.yml. This provides even faster user feedback since:
- No need to wait for Node.js setup
- No need to wait for npm install
- Reaction happens immediately before any processing

Benefits:
- Reaction appears in ~1-2 seconds instead of ~10-15 seconds
- Cleaner separation of concerns
- Simpler TypeScript code (removed unused reaction logic)
- Better user experience with instant visual feedback
