Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status column in both Project Details and Task Tracker: Color-coded cells for clarity (e.g., green for Completed, red for Overdue).
- Risk Level: Highlighted with background colors (e.g., red = Critical, yellow = High).
- Target End Date vs. TODAY(): Cells turn red if overdue; amber if within 3 days of deadline.
