The answer
Create a function that returns a color based on the percentage: < 30% red, < 70% yellow, >= 70% green. Set bar.style.background = getColor(percent). This gives visual feedback on progress status.

Create a container div (background gray) and an inner fill div. Set the fill's width to a percentage. Use CSS transition: width 0.3s ease for smooth animation. Clamp the value to 0-100. Display the percentage.
Use SVG with two circles. The background circle has a gray stroke. The progress circle uses stroke-dasharray (circumference) and stroke-dashoffset (circumference - percent/100 * circumference). Rotate -90 degrees so it starts at the top.
Use CSS transition on the width property: transition: width 0.3s ease. When you change the width via JavaScript, the CSS transition animates the change smoothly. No requestAnimationFrame needed.
