This pull request refactors the LifecycleAnimation component to separate the stage elements from the rest of the SVG scene, improving control over their visibility and animation flow. The main change is the introduction of a new stage-elements group, which allows for more precise opacity management during animation phases, especially when isolating the flying dots effect.

SVG structure and opacity management improvements:

• Introduced a new <g id="stage-elements"> group within the SVG, wrapping all stage-related elements except the dots, enabling independent control of their visibility. [1] [2]
• Updated all logic that previously referenced scene for opacity changes to now use stageElements, ensuring only stage elements fade out while dots remain visible during transitions. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Animation cleanup:

• Removed the final animation that faded out the dots after completion, so the dots remain visible until the animation fully completes.
