💡 What: Added comprehensive keyboard accessibility support (Enter/Space key handlers, semantic roles, tab indexing, and focus-visible focus rings) to the primary interactive div-based card components (ExperienceCard, ProjectCard, BlogCard).

🎯 Why: To ensure users relying on keyboard navigation and screen readers can interact with and visibly locate active interactive elements that were previously built as non-interactive div elements, while ensuring nested interactive elements (like repository links) are not blocked or double-triggered.

📸 Before/After:
(See visual verification screenshot showing active focus ring styles upon tabbing into the cards)

Accessibility:

  • Added role="button" and tabIndex={0} semantics where missing.
  • Implemented spacebar and enter key triggering while avoiding scroll propagation and inner link capturing.
  • Standardized focus-visible styling using Tailwind's ring utilities mapped to the primary theme color.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 2109203960201048414 started by @Dev22603

Added `role="button"`, `tabIndex={0}`, and custom `onKeyDown` handlers to `ExperienceCard` and `ProjectCard` components, allowing activation via `Enter` or `Space` key while explicitly ignoring inner links. Also added `focus-visible` ring utility classes to interactive elements across `ExperienceCard`, `ProjectCard`, and `BlogCard` components for improved keyboard navigation visibility.

Fixed ESLint unused variables configuration to correctly ignore `motion` imports from framer-motion. Fixed Vite build warnings regarding CSS `@import` ordering and `__dirname` resolution in `vite.config.js`.

Appended a new entry regarding custom keyboard interaction implementations in the Palette journal.
