What I mean is that nuclear technology is more than 60 years old now, and I guess there is a pretty good understanding of how to build nuclear weapons, and how to make ballistic missiles. So what exactly stops countries from secretly developing them in remote facilities?

The CIA.
Iran has been trying to develop nukes for a while, around 2010 the CIA developed a virus called Stuxnet and infected almost every device in the world in the hopes of it spreading to air-gapped Iranian centrifuges that were being used to manufacture nuclear weapons grade uranium.
The virus was programmed to look for a specific device firmware and increase the speed of the device very slightly while under reporting to the user to ruin the process.
This only came out because the virus was detected by IT workers around the world. Imagine all the things all the governments do to stop their enemies that we never hear about
