Critical Constraints

• ❌ DO NOT assume permissions are granted → ✅ Always check before using protected APIs
• ❌ DO NOT repeatedly prompt after denial → ✅ Guide user to System Settings instead
• ❌ DO NOT block the entire app on missing permission → ✅ Gracefully degrade, offer reduced functionality
• ❌ DO NOT forget PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy → ✅ Required for App Store submission
