Coding Help (issue has been fixed) Assets folder is showing as empty (it's not)

Hi, I'm currently trying to make a simple Jodi hair recolor mod with content patcher as a practice piece before moving on to making bigger stuff since I've never made any mods before (my only coding experience was Scratch back in 5th grade, which is zero help...). I believe I've got the actual coding for the manifest and content .json files done correctly? At least the JSON validator says so... but when I try to load into the game, SMAPI says that the assets folder is empty despite the fact that I have three different image files in there (pngs) which are all uniquely named and mentioned in the content.json so I don't see what the issue could possibly be.

Here's the SMAPI Log (where it shows as empty): https://smapi.io/log/1188ffbd3574470ab96dcdd07306b65b

I also attached a zipped version of the mod I'm trying to make in case looking at that might help figure out what is going on :)

NVM I FIGURED IT OUT!!

Leaving this up in case anyone else ever has this problem, but it turns out that the "json" files were actually saved as txt files which I couldn't see until I enabled the file name extensions and then it showed as .json.txt (because for some reason it named it with the .json but saved as a txt file when I saved it?), but I've got it fixed now 👍
