💡 What:
Added accessible={true}, accessibilityRole="button", accessibilityLabel={t('notepadClearTitle')}, and hitSlop={{ top: 8, bottom: 8, left: 8, right: 8 }} to the icon-only "Clear/Delete" button in NotepadScreen.tsx.

🎯 Why:
The previous button implementation was icon-only without proper labels, making it completely opaque to screen readers. Furthermore, the touch target for the 22px icon was relatively small, making it difficult to interact with on touch screens. Adding these properties directly fixes both the accessibility and usability concerns.

📸 Before/After:
Before:

<TouchableOpacity onPress={clear} style={s.iconBtn}>
  <MaterialIcons name="delete-outline" size={22} color="#EF4444" />
</TouchableOpacity>

After:

<TouchableOpacity
  onPress={clear}
  style={s.iconBtn}
  accessible={true}
  accessibilityRole="button"
  accessibilityLabel={t('notepadClearTitle')}
  hitSlop={{ top: 8, bottom: 8, left: 8, right: 8 }}
>
  <MaterialIcons name="delete-outline" size={22} color="#EF4444" />
</TouchableOpacity>

Accessibility:
Screen readers can now correctly identify the interactive element as a "button" and read out its action ("Clear notes" or "Cancella note") instead of simply ignoring the button entirely. Users with motor difficulties will also find the button easier to tap due to the expanded hitSlop.

Added `accessible={true}`, `accessibilityRole="button"`, `accessibilityLabel`, and `hitSlop` to the icon-only delete button in the NotepadScreen to improve keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and touch target size.
