Code Review
This pull request improves accessibility and focus states in the ImageUploader component, and documents these learnings in .Jules/palette.md. Specifically, it adds focus-visible rings to buttons, hides the visually hidden file input from keyboard navigation and screen readers, and adds accessible attributes to the image removal button. The reviewer pointed out that having both title and aria-label with the same value on the removal button can cause screen readers to announce the label twice, and suggested removing the redundant aria-label.

Having both title and aria-label with the exact same value on an interactive element can cause some screen readers (such as NVDA or VoiceOver) to announce the label twice, leading to a redundant and confusing user experience.
Since the button has no other text content (the <X> icon is correctly marked with aria-hidden="true"), the title attribute already acts as the accessible name for the button. Therefore, aria-label is redundant and can be safely removed to prevent double announcements while retaining the hover tooltip.

Overview
ImageUploader gets keyboard and screen-reader fixes without changing upload behavior.
The Select file control and the overlay Remove image button now use Tailwind
focus-visiblerings (blue vs red) so tab users get visible focus, including on the clipped overlay button. The hidden file input is removed from the tab order withtabIndex={-1}andaria-hidden="true". The icon-only remove control gainsaria-labeland theXicon is markedaria-hidden.A
