🎨 Palette: UX and Accessibility Enhancements

[saynchowdhury]

I have implemented a set of micro-UX and accessibility improvements across the Browse page and global Header.

💡 What:

• Browse Page Search: Added a functional "Clear search" button (X icon) that appears when typing. Added aria-label="Search opportunities" to the input and marked decorative brackets as aria-hidden.
• Filter Visibility: Added aria-pressed to the "OPEN_ONLY" and "VIEW_ALL" buttons to indicate active state to assistive technologies.
• Mobile Navigation: Enhanced the mobile menu toggle in the Header with aria-expanded and a dynamic aria-label ("Open menu" / "Close menu").
• Global Search Component: Added aria-label to the existing clear button in the reusable SearchInput component.

🎯 Why:

These changes make the interface more accessible for screen reader users and provide a more fluid interaction for all users when managing search queries and filters.

♿ Accessibility:

• Proper ARIA labels for all icon-only interactive elements.
• State visibility (expanded/pressed) communicated to assistive technologies.
• Reduced noise by hiding decorative-only characters from screen readers.
