This PR introduces several micro-UX improvements to the project's CLI:

💡 What:

  • Robust Input Handling: The name argument is now stripped of whitespace. If the result is empty, it defaults to "World".
  • Actionable Error Messages: When a name exceeds the 100-character limit, the error message now explicitly states the provided length (e.g., "Name too long (101/100 characters)").
  • Visual Delight: The user's name in the greeting is now highlighted in cyan and bold, creating a pleasant visual distinction from the rest of the message.
  • Documentation: Initialized the .jules/palette.md journal to track UX-focused learnings.

🎯 Why:

  • Prevents awkward greetings like "Hello ! 👋" when users accidentally include spaces.
  • Helps users understand why their input was rejected by providing specific feedback.
  • Enhances the "feel" of the CLI with subtle color-coding of dynamic values.

Accessibility:

  • Improved error message clarity provides better context for users of all types.
  • Visual hierarchy helps distinguish between system text and user-provided data.
