🎨 Palette: Enhance Accessibility and Search UX

This PR implements several micro-UX and accessibility improvements across the application:

  1. Accessible Search Feedback:

    • Added a "No matches found" message to the sidebar conversation search.
    • Applied role="status" and aria-live="polite" to empty state messages in both the sidebar and model selector to ensure they are announced to screen reader users.
  2. Comprehensive Icon-Only Button Accessibility:

    • Added aria-label attributes to all icon-only buttons in the sidebar, chat interface, IDE toolbar, and modals.
    • Marked decorative SVGs and non-interactive visual elements (like user avatars) with aria-hidden="true".
  3. Input Field Accessibility:

    • Added aria-label to the main chat textarea and voice input textarea to provide semantic context beyond placeholder text.
  4. UI Refinement:

    • Initialized the Palette journal (.Jules/palette.md) to document and track UX patterns and accessibility standards for future maintenance.

Verified via Playwright scripts and manual visual inspection.

👋 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!

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.
