This PR implements a micro-UX enhancement for the Bitcoin Trading Simulation.

Problem:
When users run the simulation with --quiet, they expect suppressed output. However, the simulation still leaks Buy and Sell signals to stdout. Additionally, for long simulations in quiet mode, users receive no feedback and might assume the process has hung.

Solution:

  • Wrapped Buy/Sell print statements in if not quiet: blocks.
  • Added an interactive dynamic progress bar that updates in place when quiet is active and the terminal is interactive (sys.stdout.isatty()). This ensures background jobs/redirects aren't polluted while giving human users clear status updates.
  • Added a record of this pattern to the UX journal (.Jules/palette.md).

- Modify `simulate_trading` to properly check `if not quiet:` before printing buy and sell events.
- Add a dynamic text-based progress bar using `\r` and `flush=True` when `quiet` is enabled and running in an interactive session (`sys.stdout.isatty()`).
- Append a UX learning entry to `.Jules/palette.md` noting the improvement in visibility for long-running suppressed processes.
