💡 What: Added scope="col" to <th> elements and an inline visually-hidden <caption> to the data table in TelemetryTimeline.tsx. Recorded the inline visual-hide style pattern to the Palette journal.
🎯 Why: To improve the table's accessibility for screen reader users by properly associating headers with cells and providing a descriptive caption without breaking visual layout.
♿ Accessibility: Improved screen reader support for the raw details data table.

Implements the QuantumGPUClient architecture to enable direct, zero-orchestration communication between GPUs and QPUs. This includes:

- `IHardwareQPUInterface`: Abstract base class for QPU hardware interaction (DMA setup, event registration).
- `QuantumGPUClient`: Client class to manage shared buffers and event creation.
- `QPUEvent` and `GPUCompletionEvent`: Classes representing hardware synchronization signals.
- `tests/test_quantum_gpu_client.py`: Unit tests verifying the API and workflow using a mock interface.

This implementation lays the groundwork for ultra-low latency hybrid quantum-classical computing by removing CPU orchestration overheads.

Code Review

This pull request introduces documentation for a screen-reader-only text pattern and implements it within the TelemetryTimeline component by adding a visually hidden table caption and column scopes. The review feedback recommends using a global utility class instead of inline styles to enhance maintainability, updating the deprecated 'clip' property to 'clip-path', and shortening the caption text for a better screen reader experience.

## 2024-05-24 - Screen Reader Only Text Pattern
**Learning:** The application does not define utility classes like `.sr-only` for visually hiding text for screen readers without breaking layout.
**Action:** Use an explicit inline CSS object with styles like `position: absolute`, `width: 1px`, `height: 1px`, `padding: 0`, `margin: -1px`, `overflow: hidden`, `clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0)`, `whiteSpace: nowrap`, and `borderWidth: 0` when adding accessibility captions or text that needs to be visually hidden.

Promoting the use of a large inline CSS object for a recurring pattern like sr-only (screen reader only) is a maintainability risk. It leads to code duplication and makes the JSX harder to read. A better approach is to define a utility class in the global stylesheet (e.g., app/globals.css). Additionally, the clip property is deprecated; modern implementations should include clip-path: inset(50%) for better compatibility.

**Action:** Define a utility class (e.g., .sr-only) in app/globals.css to handle visually hiding elements. This ensures consistency across the codebase and keeps component styles clean.

Using a verbose inline style object for accessibility is difficult to maintain. It is recommended to use a CSS utility class. Furthermore, the clip property is deprecated. Adding clipPath: 'inset(50%)' provides better support for modern browsers. Also, consider making the caption text more concise, as it will be announced by screen readers every time the table is accessed.

<caption style={{ position: 'absolute', width: '1px', height: '1px', padding: 0, margin: '-1px', overflow: 'hidden', clip: 'rect(0, 0, 0, 0)', whiteSpace: 'nowrap', borderWidth: 0 }}>
