Research direction
Examine the Zero repository's source code, particularly the main server file (e.g., index.js), to understand how HTML responses are currently rendered. Then, research the pug npm package documentation and implement a similar mechanism for .pug files. Review the existing comments on the issue for any additional context or suggestions.
