[Feature]: Add autocomplete="off" to skills input to prevent browser autocomplete interference #258

Description

@Harshada-Yele

What problem does this solve?

The skills input field uses a custom chip-based selection system.
Browser autocomplete interferes with this by showing a dropdown of
previously typed values, which overlaps the custom chip UI and
confuses the interaction for new users.

Proposed solution

Add autocomplete="off" to the skills input field in templates/index.html.
<input type="text" id="skill-input" autocomplete="off" ...>

This is a single attribute change with no logic or backend impact.

Alternatives considered

None — autocomplete="off" is the standard HTML solution for
suppressing browser autocomplete on custom input components.

Which part of the app does this affect?

Homepage and form

Estimated complexity

Small (a few lines of CSS or JS)
