🎨 Palette: Add skip-to-content link for keyboard accessibility (#169)
💡 What: Added a "Skip to content" link that is visually hidden by default but appears when focused via keyboard. Pointed it to the main content area using `id="main-content"` and `tabIndex={-1}`. 🎯 Why: Keyboard users and screen readers must otherwise tab through the entire navigation menu on every page load before reaching the actual page content. This is tedious and a poor UX. 📸 Before/After: Before, keyboard focus started on "Home" in the header. After, the first tab press shows the "Skip to content" link at the top left of the screen. ♿ Accessibility: Massively improves WCAG compliance (Bypass Blocks) and keyboard navigation efficiency.
