🎨 Palette: Add placeholders to input fields in status bar

💡 What: Added descriptive placeholders (e.g. "type to search...", "type to filter...") to the global TUI input line located in the status bar when the user hasn't typed anything yet.
🎯 Why: Makes the purpose of the input fields immediately clear instead of relying on the user understanding short prefixes (like / or :), which improves discoverability and UX for both new and existing users.
♿ Accessibility: Reduces cognitive load and ensures users don't get stuck in a mode without knowing what input is expected.

Closing this PR rather than merging it, for these reasons:

1. It bypasses the UI language mechanism. The placeholders ("type to search...", "type line number...", etc.) are hard-coded English &'static str values. docs/design/ui-text.md requires user-visible text to go through lang::t(Msg::…), with variants added in msg.rs, ja.rs and en.rs. As written, Japanese users get English hints, and the previews, which are pinned to Japanese, would show the wrong language.
2. The screenshot snapshots are stale. The CI screenshot-diff comment reports that docs/preview/*.svg no longer matches the render (branch, finder_empty, grep_empty). cargo preview --update-snapshots was not run and committed.
3. The patch includes a log entry for an unrelated agent workflow. The .Jules/palette.md change is not part of the product.

The idea itself is reasonable. A redo should add Msg keys with both ja and en text, update the snapshots, and drop the .Jules file. CI itself (check, perf) was green.
