The Clear button, its .dir-clear-wrap container, the .dir-clear CSS and the JS that showed, hid and wired it are gone from the filter row. The search box keeps its native type=search clear. The empty state no longer names a missing control: it now reads "Nothing matches. Widen your search, or set the filters back to All." — with that phrase an inline text action (#dirEmptyReset) that does exactly what Clear did, so the one-click way back survives where a visitor needs it.
