IMPROVED - Make dock feel like the real macOS dock

- Stronger magnification (50 to 92) with snappier spring tracking.
- macOS-style launch bounce on click; running-dot indicator for the active
  page (works with fixed app-icon images, no recolor).
- Per-item icon paths in navItems so real macOS app icons can be dropped in.
- Drop the now-unused -active icon variants.
