ChronoAuth: Clock Orientation Customizer

When users encounter a time‑based authentication clock that rotates the year clockwise, it clashes with their mental model of a counter‑clockwise rotation, causing confusion and friction. ChronoAuth delivers a flexible clock component that lets developers choose the rotation direction (or keep the default) so authentication flows stay intuitive and trustworthy.
