Add SwiftUI best practices from SwiftLee articles analysis#27
Conversation
Analyzed 55+ SwiftLee articles across SwiftUI and Swift categories to extract still-relevant, non-opinionated best practices. Changes: - New accessibility-patterns.md reference (traits, grouping, @ScaledMetric, Dynamic Type) - state-management.md: @entry macro, @State with @observable ownership - performance-patterns.md: Self._logChanges() alongside _printChanges - image-optimization.md: UIImage caching behavior, NSCache pattern - list-patterns.md: Identifiable pitfalls, ContentUnavailableView, scrollContentBackground - view-structure.md: conditional modifier identity, ViewModifier/ButtonStyle, redacted, UIViewRepresentable, static member lookup - sheet-navigation-patterns.md: enum-based sheet management - SKILL.md: accessibility in decision tree, core guidelines, review checklist - README.md: SwiftLee articles attribution
