PROJECT: Breakpoint — Premium Dashboard & Interactive Bug Story Experience

GOAL:
Create a premium Apple-style learning experience that visualizes Swift bugs as cinematic interactive stories.

Users should SEE how bugs happen, not read about them.

The app must feel calm, thoughtful, and educational.
Do not overcrowd the UI.

Each bug follows:
Observe → Understand → Fix → Reflect
