Error	Quick Fix
`no matching field: font`	Use `text_style: <THEME_FONT_*>{}`
Color parse error (ends in `e`)	Change last digit (e.g., `#14141e` → `#14141f`)
`set_text` missing argument	Add `cx` as first argument
UI not updating	Call `redraw(cx)` after changes
Widget not found	Check ID spelling, use `ids!()` for paths
