                            <li>Removed Google Fonts dependency and implemented robust fallback logic for local JS libraries, enabling full offline capability.</li>

                            <li>Improved FPS counter stability with a warmup period to prevent erroneous spikes during new file loads.</li>
                            <li>Removed unnecessary animation loop calls (e.g., drawing axes every frame) and reduced text content updates for a 20%+ performance boost.</li>
                            <li>Throttled the MATLAB-style Data Explorer updates to prevent unnecessary function calls when closed.</li>

 <h1>Version 3 – Comprehensive Changelog</h1>
 <p><strong>Release Scope:</strong> Major architectural overhaul, performance optimization, synchronization stability, enhanced visualization intelligence, and UX refinement.</p>
 <!-- ========================= -->
 <h2>1. Sync Engine Rearchitecture (Major)</h2>
 <div class="major">
 <p>The playback and synchronization system was completely redesigned to eliminate drift, stutter, and race conditions.</p>
 <h3>Key Enhancements:</h3>
 <ul>
 <li>Migration of update logic to <code>videoFrameCallback</code> for deterministic frame synchronization.</li>
 <li>Hybrid video-radar synchronization architecture.</li>
 <li>Centralized offset handling logic.</li>
 <li>Drift cascade lockdown mechanism.</li>
 <li>Manual offset persistence and improved workflow.</li>
 </ul>
 <p><strong>Impact:</strong> Playback engine is now deterministic, stable under low-end hardware, and resilient against multi-tab load conditions.</p>
 </div>
 <!-- ========================= -->
 <h2>2. File Loading & Caching Overhaul (Major)</h2>
 <div class="major">
