## Description

TapTargetView is a set of UI components designed for user onboarding and feature discovery. It provides visual callouts, focus indicators, and markers that direct user attention toward specific screen elements to introduce new or hidden functionality.

The system implements Material Design guidelines for its feature discovery UI, ensuring that visual highlights and interactive callouts remain consistent with standardized design specifications.

It supports the creation of interactive product tours by chaining multiple interaction points into a sequential path. This is achieved through coordinate-based positioning and a layering system that ensures guidance elements remain visible over the existing application interface.
