+ * Lesson: JavaFX Application Structure
+ *
+ * 1. The Application class serves as the entry point for JavaFX applications.
+ * 2. The main method initiates the JavaFX runtime via Application.launch(String... args).
+ * 3. When launch() is called without arguments, the application lifecycle follows:
+ *    - init(): Initialization phase
+ *    - start(): Primary stage setup
+ *    - stop(): Cleanup upon application exit
