💡 What: Replaced hardcoded space padding in the CLI output updates with the ANSI escape sequence \033[K (Erase in Line).

🎯 Why: To make the text replacement more robust when updating lines in a terminal UI. Hardcoding spaces fails when the length of dynamic text changes unpredictably, leaving trailing artifacts. \033[K natively clears from the cursor to the end of the line.

♿ Accessibility/UX: Provides a cleaner, glitch-free UI without text flickering or residual characters from longer strings when rendering updates to the screen.

- Replaced hardcoded padding spaces in CLI outputs with `\033[K` (Erase in Line) immediately following `\r` to ensure text clearing is dynamic and robust.
- Updated `.Jules/palette.md` with UX learnings regarding preventing trailing text artifacts in CLI applications.
