🎨 Palette: Add chat UX improvements#517
Conversation
Added the "Enter: Chat" and "L: Chat Log" shortcut hints to the bottom screen
key options overlay so they are discoverable.
Added an empty state message ("Chat log is empty.") when the player opens the
chat log but no messages exist, so they are not presented with an empty UI box.

💡 What: Added chat keyboard shortcut hints to the on-screen display and implemented an empty state for the chat log.
🎯 Why: Players had no way to know that pressing 'Enter' opens chat or 'L' opens the chat log without reading the source code. Furthermore, toggling an empty chat log previously rendered a blank box, creating confusion.
📸 Before/After: Not applicable (ASCII/Pygame UI overlay change)
♿ Accessibility: Improves discoverability of chat features and provides clearer UI context for empty states.
