Optimized the 1-second clock update loop in index.html by caching Intl.DateTimeFormat instances and DOM references outside the updateTime function. Benchmarks confirmed a speedup of ~40x to 121x (reducing execution from ~1.7ms to ~0.04ms per tick). Addressing code review feedback, the hour12 option was removed to respect locale-default AM/PM formatting, maintaining visual parity with the original implementation.

💡 What: Optimized the `updateTime` function in `index.html` by caching DOM element references and pre-initializing `Intl.DateTimeFormat` instances.

🎯 Why: Calling `toLocaleTimeString()` and `toLocaleDateString()` on every 1-second tick is expensive as it instantiates new formatters repeatedly. DOM lookups on every tick also add unnecessary overhead.

📊 Impact: Execution time per tick reduced from ~1.7ms to ~0.04ms (~40x speedup), significantly reducing main thread pressure for the clock tool.

🔬 Measurement: Verified using a Playwright-based benchmark script performing 1000 iterations of `updateTime()`. Visual parity was confirmed via screenshots to ensure AM/PM locale defaults are preserved.
