  • 💡 What: Replaced the raw text "x" in the Start Menu search's clear button with a semantic SVG icon and added an aria-label.
  • 🎯 Why: The previous clear button was just a textual "x" which felt unpolished and lacked screen reader support. Using an SVG aligns better with standard UI patterns, and the aria-label ensures visually impaired users know what the button does.
  • 📸 Before/After: Visual changes were captured during verification (replaced "x" with a standard X SVG icon).
  • ♿ Accessibility: Added aria-label="Clear search" to the icon-only button, addressing an accessibility gap for screen readers. Added a learning about this to .Jules/palette.md.
