Frictionless

Got CentPilot’s foundation up and running dark-themed UI with working tabs, no frameworks so far, just plain HTML/CSS/JS so I can actually understand every line. Spent most of the 15 minutes untangling a beginner mistake: I tried opening the project’s zip file directly in VS Code and got a screen full of garbled binary instead of code turns out you have to extract it first, obvious in hindsight. Once that clicked, the tab-switching and dark theme rendered perfectly on the first real try.
