This is a barebones starter theme designed for developers who want to build fast, clean websites using the Pico CSS framework. It strips away many default features to provide a lightweight foundation focused on performance and semantic HTML.

Minimal Core: Removes numerous default features like comments, RSS feeds, XML-RPC, and dashboard widgets to reduce bloat and potential security concerns.
Clean Output: Delivers a clean HTML <head> with no inline styles and uses lightweight menu structures without unnecessary wrappers or classes.
Content Focus: Configures the site to use only the 'page' post type by default, removing 'post', categories, tags, and author archives for simpler content management.
Security & Performance Tweaks: Includes security headers, limits post revisions, and allows modern file format uploads like WebP and SVG.
Classic Editor: Uses the classic editor instead of the block editor (Gutenberg), catering to developers who prefer that workflow.
