⚠️ Pending Components

1. WebSocket Plugin (Critical for Nitro Client)

Issue: The WebSocket plugin is required for Nitro client connectivity but couldn't be downloaded from git.krews.org due to server issues.

Status: Database settings configured, but plugin JAR file missing

Solutions:

1. Wait for Krews GitLab to come back online: https://git.krews.org/nitro/ms-websockets
2. Find alternative download source from community
3. Use alternative emulator with built-in WebSocket support

2. Nitro Assets (Required for Full Functionality)

Issue: Complete converted Nitro assets unavailable due to Krews GitLab downtime.

Status: Partial assets found in Arcturus repo, but incomplete

Solutions:

1. Download pre-converted assets when Krews GitLab is available: https://git.krews.org/oshawott/nitro-assets
2. Convert assets manually using nitro-converter (30-60 minutes)
3. Download complete asset pack from community forums

3. Client Installation

Status: Not started

Next Steps:

cd Nitro-Cool-UI
yarn install
yarn start  # Development mode on port 3000
# OR
yarn build  # Production build
