Palette UX Improvements 🎨

As Palette, this PR introduces the following targeted micro-UX improvements to the application:

  1. Accessible Search Clearing: Search fields in ProjectsApp and BlogApp now feature an accessible "clear" button that appears contextually when text is entered. This prevents users from having to rapidly backspace long queries and cleanly refocuses the input after being pressed.
  2. Silent Background Clocks: Replaced the aria-live="polite" attribute on the Taskbar clock with a semantic <time dateTime={...}> element. Previously, screen reader users were heavily disrupted by minute-by-minute announcements while browsing the OS.
  3. UX Journaling: Recorded a finding in .Jules/palette.md to establish the constraint of not using aria-live on continuously updating clock components within this codebase.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 656095093966310790 started by @schmug

- Added an accessible "clear filter" button (Γ—) to search inputs in BlogApp and ProjectsApp.
- Replaced the intrusive `aria-live="polite"` span in the Taskbar clock with a semantic `<time dateTime={...}>` element.
- Added a new journal entry to `.Jules/palette.md` to document the learning related to `aria-live` on frequently updating components.

Superseded by #127 (merged to main), which consolidated the best of the duplicate Bolt/Sentinel/Palette scheduled-agent PRs into one reviewed change. Closing as duplicate.
