This PR adds a small UX improvement by providing "Clear" buttons inside the search/filter inputs of the ProjectsApp and BlogApp.

What it does

  • Adds an x icon button inside the input wrapper conditionally when query text is present.
  • Resets the query state when clicked.
  • Implements focus management via a ref on the <input> element so that focus properly returns to the input field after it is cleared, allowing users to immediately begin typing a new search string.
  • Includes standard a11y labels (aria-label, hidden svg icons) and focus visible states.

Why

Users filtering long lists of repositories or blog posts might find manually backspacing or highlighting long inputs frustrating. A dedicated "clear" button handles this instantly, and focus management ensures the user's keyboard flow is uninterrupted.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 18320195723894452521 started by @schmug

Add accessible clear buttons to the filter text inputs in `ProjectsApp`
and `BlogApp`. The buttons appear conditionally when there is a query,
provide standard icon and ARIA labels, and use focus management to return
the keyboard focus to the input field after clearing the text.

This UX improvement provides a straightforward way for users to clear
long search queries without repeated backspacing or disrupting their
keyboard flow.

Superseded by #127 (merged to main), which consolidated the best of the duplicate Bolt/Sentinel/Palette scheduled-agent PRs into one reviewed change.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

Understood. Acknowledging that this work is now obsolete due to the consolidation in #127, and I will stop work on this task.
