…k Aria-Live
This patch introduces two targeted micro-UX and accessibility improvements based on the Palette guidelines:
1. **Clock Accessibility Fix**: Removes `aria-live="polite"` from continuously updating system clocks on the `Taskbar` and mobile `StatusBar`. Continuous updates cause screen readers to interrupt users every minute. Replaced the generic `<span>` with a semantic `<time dateTime={now.toISOString()}>` element.
2. **Launcher Clear Button**: Adds a "Clear search" button to the application Launcher. The clear button has an `aria-label`, utilizes standard CortechOS styling and focus rings, gracefully handles padding adjustments so text isn't obscured, and properly manages focus by dropping the user directly back into the input field when clicked.
