🎨 Palette: V2 Navigation Rail UX Enhancement

This PR introduces a series of micro-UX improvements to the ENARM V2 navigation rail, focusing on accessibility, functionality, and "delight."

💡 What

  • Functional Branding: The navigation logo is now a Link pointing to /v2/dashboard.
  • Intelligent Theme Toggle: The toggle now uses React state to correctly synchronize its icon (dark_mode vs light_mode) and its aria-label/title ("Cambiar a modo oscuro" vs "Cambiar a modo claro") with the document's actual theme.
  • Micro-Animations: Added CSS transitions to the theme toggle button for scale effects on hover and a rotation effect on click.
  • Robust Testing: Expanded V2Navi.test.jsx to cover the new logo link and the dynamic theme toggle behavior.

🎯 Why

Standardizing navigation patterns (like a clickable logo) makes the app more intuitive. Providing clear, localized feedback on state-changing buttons (like the theme toggle) improves both the perceived quality and the accessibility for screen reader users.

♿ Accessibility

  • Added aria-label and title to the brand logo link.
  • Implemented dynamic, context-aware aria-label for the theme toggle.
  • Ensured decorative icons are hidden from screen readers.

✅ Verification

  • All unit tests in V2Navi.test.jsx pass.
  • Verified visual behavior and state synchronization with a Playwright script.
  • Linting is clean.

This commit improves the V2 navigation rail (V2Navi) by:
- Converting the brand logo from a static div to a functional Link to the dashboard.
- Implementing dynamic state for the Theme Toggle to update icons (dark_mode/light_mode) and ARIA labels based on the active theme.
- Adding micro-animations (scale and rotation) to the Theme Toggle for a more tactile and delightful experience.
- Improving accessibility by adding descriptive aria-labels and titles to the logo and theme toggle.
- Updating and expanding unit tests to verify the new functionality.
- Updating Palette's journal with learnings from this task.
