💡 What: Added Alignment::Center and Color::DarkGray to the "No spec selected" empty state paragraph, and Alignment::Center to the help footer paragraph in xchecker-tui. Created .jules/palette.md to log a critical UX learning about visual hierarchy.

🎯 Why: To visually distinguish secondary empty states and help footers from actionable, primary content. This helps establish a clear visual hierarchy in the terminal user interface, making it more intuitive for users to understand which areas are active versus informative.

♿ Accessibility: Ensures that informational areas (like the help text and empty details panel) don't visually compete with the actionable specs list, improving the cognitive load for the user when navigating the TUI.

  - Replaced zombie-process-susceptible `kill(pid, 0)` checks with robust `child.try_wait()`.
  - Increased sleep tolerances (500ms to 1000ms) to accommodate slow CI runners.
  - Adjusted shell scripts to use an active loop (`while true`) instead of `sleep` to ensure signal traps survive process-group termination and aren't optimized out via `exec`.
  - Mocked Claude CLI path in `test_runner_timeout_terminates_process_group` to prevent spurious 'No such file or directory' errors in the CI environment.
