Replaces aria-live="polite" with semantic <time dateTime="..."> elements on the system clocks in both the desktop Taskbar.tsx and mobile StatusBar.tsx to prevent screen readers from constantly announcing minute-by-minute updates.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 4643126622803699860 started by @schmug

πŸ’‘ What: Replaced `aria-live="polite"` with semantic `<time>` elements using `dateTime` for clocks in the Taskbar and StatusBar.
🎯 Why: `aria-live="polite"` on continuously updating UI elements (like a clock ticking every minute) disrupts screen readers with unnecessary announcements, creating poor UX. Using the standard `<time>` element retains machine readability without the spam.
β™Ώ Accessibility: Prevented screen reader interruption for continuous minor time changes.
