Tutorial-Free Architecture Policy

Varisankya follows a "Clarity First" design philosophy. Onboarding tutorials, spotlight walkthroughs, and demo modes have been explicitly removed to reduce codebase complexity and prioritize a streamlined "Land and Track" experience for experienced users.

Core Rules

1. Self-Documenting UI: Features must be discoverable through clear M3 labels, icons, and native interactions (e.g., Swipe-to-Action) rather than instruction cards.
2. No Mock Injection: The MainViewModel and PreferenceHelper must never contain code that injects non-user data for "simulated" scenarios.
3. Empty State Guidance: Use empty_state_container within the Home screen or Search to provide context when no data exists, instead of an overlay.
4. No Tutorial Artifacts: Avoid adding TutorialManager, TutorialOverlayFragment, or any .json/.xml resources specific to onboarding logic.

Exception: Empty State CTA

If a user is lost, the only acceptable guidance is an expressive "Zero State" card that leads directly to the primary action (e.g., "Add Subscription").
