🎨 Palette: Enhance Flight Card UX with haptics and accessibility

[TargetMisser]

💡 What: The UX enhancement added

Enhanced the flight cards in FlightScreen.tsx by adding haptic feedback to the swipe-to-pin gesture and comprehensive accessibility support.

🎯 Why: The user problem it solves

1. Tactile Feedback: Users swiping cards now receive physical confirmation when reaching the action threshold, making the gesture feel more responsive and intentional.
2. Screen Reader Accessibility: Previously, the swipe-to-pin gesture was inaccessible to screen reader users. By adding accessibilityActions, VoiceOver and TalkBack users can now pin flights via their standard accessibility menus.
3. Descriptive Context: Added rich accessibilityLabel content so screen reader users hear all relevant flight details (Flight #, Airline, Direction, Destination, Time, and Status) in a single coherent announcement.

♿ Accessibility improvements made

• Added accessible={true} to flight cards.
• Constructed descriptive labels combining multiple flight data points.
• Implemented accessibilityActions ("togglePin") with localized labels.
• Added onAccessibilityAction to handle pinning/unpinning without requiring the physical swipe gesture.

🛠️ Technical Details

• Integrated expo-haptics for tactile feedback.
• Used useRef for haptic state management to prevent duplicate triggers.
• Improved TypeScript safety by using ViewProps for the card component.
• Updated src/i18n/translations.ts with new accessibility-specific strings in English and Italian.
