## Overview

Secret Box is an anonymous-messaging app: account holders sign in, share a personal link, receive anonymous messages, and view them in a dashboard. The graph covers the sampled login, signup, response retrieval and persistence paths, plus the documented link-sharing experience. The dynamic message page and some UI/API wiring were not sampled, so their connections are limited to what route names and sampled callers support.

Main entry points: [`src/Components/LoginForm.jsx`](https://github.com/yash762816/secret-box/blob/main/src/Components/LoginForm.jsx) (Login and signup form), [`src/app/page.js`](https://github.com/yash762816/secret-box/blob/main/src/app/page.js) (Message dashboard), [`src/models/userModels.js`](https://github.com/yash762816/secret-box/blob/main/src/models/userModels.js) (User and message records), [`src/app/api/user/responses/route.js`](https://github.com/yash762816/secret-box/blob/main/src/app/api/user/responses/route.js) (Message listing endpoint)
