💡 What: Added explicit visual instructions ("Press Space or Up Arrow to jump!") to the Mario game canvas. Added an entry to the UX journal noting this finding.
🎯 Why: When users encounter custom HTML5 games/widgets with mapped keyboard events, the controls are not inherently discoverable. Providing a clear visual cue reduces friction and improves playability.
📸 Before/After: See frontend verification for screenshot. The #instructions overlay uses pointer-events: none to avoid interfering with game interactions.
Accessibility: Provides immediate visual clarity on how to interact with the game instance.

Adds a visible, non-blocking overlay to the Mario game UI explaining the Space/Up Arrow jump controls to improve discoverability. Also logs this UX learning in the Palette journal.
