     *   *Features*: Destructured the dual-column layout inside `CryptoDemo.tsx` into centered full-width panels. Added human-readable time conversion for pending countdowns, interactive calibration details toggle, individual horizon accuracy tracking, and an accordion detail toggle showing correctness checkmarks for all 5 models.
