UX Improvement:
- Added visual feedback during PDF generation process
- Users now see immediate response when clicking download button
- Clear communication about what's happening during the wait
New Features:

- Format-specific estimated generation times (Short: ~3s, Default: ~4s, Long: ~8s)
- Blur effect on modal background during loading
- Bilingual support (English/Spanish)
- Automatic modal close after download completes
CSS Updates (static/css/04-interactive/_modals.css):
- Added .pdf-loading-overlay with glassmorphism effect
- Spinning animation for loader (1s linear infinite)
- Fade-in animation (300ms)
- Accessibility: respects prefers-reduced-motion
- Background blur when loading active
HTML Updates (templates/partials/modals/pdf-modal.html):
- Loading overlay structure with spinner

- Enhanced downloadPDF() function with timing logic
Before: Click → silence → download appears
After: Click → overlay + spinner + estimate → download appears
Problem: Inline icons embedded in responsibilities, courses, and
projects had explicit width='60' height='60' attributes that made
them too large (60px instead of ~16px).
Solution:
- Added CSS with !important to override inline width/height attributes
- Targeted inline icons in:
* Course responsibilities and descriptions
* Project descriptions and technologies
* Experience responsibilities (within divs)
- Preserved large icons (80px) for main company/course/project logos
Changes:
- static/css/03-components/_courses.css: Override to 1.2em
- static/css/03-components/_projects.css: Override to 1.2em
- static/css/03-components/_cv-section.css: Override to 1.2em
Test Results:
✅ 7 course inline icons: 16px × 16px
✅ Main company icons: 80px × 80px (preserved)
