Subject: [PATCH] Enhance: Journal config options and UI result messaging

- Added Query Limit configuration for Journals and Entries in modal settings.
- Refactored +page.svelte to delegate empty-state handling to the entry list component.
- Improved "no results" messaging in ae_comp__journal_entry_obj_li.svelte.
