💡 What:
Added full keyboard accessibility to ProjectCard and ExperienceCard components.

🎯 Why:
The cards were interactive and clickable but used div/motion.div elements. This made them inaccessible to users who rely on keyboards or assistive technologies, as they couldn't focus or activate the cards. By adding the correct ARIA role, tabIndex, and keydown handlers, we ensure all users can explore the portfolio's experiences and projects.

📸 Before/After:

  • Before: Users could not tab to the cards. No focus indicator was present.
  • After: Users can tab to the cards and see a clear focus ring. They can press Enter or Space to open the card modal or link.

♿ Accessibility:

  • Added role="button" to denote the element's interactive nature.
  • Added tabIndex={0} to make the element focusable in sequential keyboard navigation.
  • Added onKeyDown handler to trigger the onClick action on Enter or Space key presses.
  • Added focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-[var(--color-primary)] for visual focus indication.

Other Fixes:

  • Fixed a build warning by moving the Google Fonts @import above @import "tailwindcss" in index.css.
  • Fixed a Vite config error by properly resolving __dirname in a module environment.
  • Fixed an ESLint error that was incorrectly flagging framer-motion imports as unused variables.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 8712607938366300604 started by @Dev22603

Added `role="button"`, `tabIndex={0}`, and an `onKeyDown` handler to
`ProjectCard.jsx` and `ExperienceCard.jsx` to make the clickable
`motion.div` components accessible to keyboard users. Also added
`focus-visible:ring-2` styles to provide a visual focus indicator.
Included a journal entry in `.Jules/palette.md` to document this
learning. Fixed an ESLint configuration issue, a Vite configuration
issue, and a CSS import issue to ensure the build and linting pass.
