🎨 Palette UX Enhancement Suite

This PR implements a collection of micro-UX improvements focused on accessibility, interaction polish, and intuitive state management:

  1. Accessibility Sweep: Added aria-label to all icon-only buttons (Sidebar, Header, Chat, Canvas, and IDE) and aria-hidden="true" to their decorative SVGs. Search inputs now have descriptive labels for screen reader users.
  2. Search Persistence & Polish:
    • renderSidebar now reads the current search value if not provided, preventing filter loss when pinning or deleting conversations.
    • Added an accessible empty state ("No matches found") with role="status" and aria-live="polite".
    • Starting a "New Chat" now clears the sidebar search to ensure the fresh state is immediately visible.
  3. Standardized Status Feedback: Model search results in the selector and rewrite picker now correctly announce "No results" to assistive technologies.
  4. Interactive Copy Feedback: The "Copy" buttons in the chat and code blocks now provide immediate inline feedback by temporarily changing text to "Copied!" and synchronizing the aria-label for a high-confidence interaction.

All changes are under 50 lines per module and follow existing design patterns. Verified via Playwright and manual inspection.

Critical learnings recorded in .Jules/palette.md.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
