πŸ’‘ What: Removed aria-live="polite" from clock components and replaced <span> with <time dateTime="...">.
🎯 Why: A ticking clock with aria-live interrupts screen readers every minute, causing a terrible UX.
β™Ώ Accessibility: Vastly improves screen reader experience by stopping constant time updates and providing semantic time tags.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 11726284761416211971 started by @schmug

- Replaced non-semantic `<span>` with `<time>` and `dateTime` for clocks in `Taskbar` and `StatusBar`.
- Removed `aria-live="polite"` to stop screen readers from constantly announcing the time every minute.
