Programmatic Auto Layout with NSLayoutConstraint
Anchor-based constraints without Interface Builder

Always set `translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false` before adding constraints to a programmatically created view. Use `NSLayoutConstraint.activate(_:)` to add multiple constraints in one call — it's more efficient than activating them one by one. Prefer `safeAreaLayoutGuide` anchors to avoid content being hidden under notches or home indicators.
