πŸ’‘ What: Added clear (x) buttons to the search inputs in the Launcher, Projects, and Blog apps. Replaced aria-live on the taskbar clock with a semantic <time> element.
🎯 Why: Search inputs are often cleared repeatedly, so requiring manual backspacing is poor UX. The aria-live on a clock updates every 30s and spams screen reader users unnecessarily.
πŸ“Έ Before/After: Visual changes verified in screenshots (Launcher input now shows a clear button).
β™Ώ Accessibility: Added proper aria-labels to the clear buttons, ensured keyboard focus remains trapped/handled properly, and fixed a major screen reader interruption bug.

Closes #UX-1

Superseded by #127 (merged to main), which consolidated the best of the duplicate Bolt/Sentinel/Palette scheduled-agent PRs into one reviewed change.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