🎨 Palette: Add pre-start prompt and hide terminal cursor#56
Conversation
- Added a "Press any key to start..." prompt before starting the game and timer. - Hid the terminal cursor (`\033[?25l`) during the main game loop to reduce visual clutter and flickering. - Ensured the cursor is restored (`\033[?25h`) upon normal exit and within the `restore_terminal` signal handler (using `sizeof` for safe string length calculation). - Recorded UX learnings in `.Jules/palette.md`.

💡 What: Added a startup prompt requiring user input before the game begins and implemented terminal cursor hiding during active gameplay (with proper restoration on exit).
🎯 Why: Previously, the game timer started immediately upon execution, leaving players unprepared. Additionally, the visible blinking cursor during rapid terminal updates caused unnecessary visual distraction.
📸 Before/After: N/A (Terminal UX change).
♿ Accessibility: Improved usability by giving the user control over when the game starts and reducing visual noise.
