## Your Task

In `starter/starter.py`, build the report string. Use `"=" * 30`
for borders, `name.upper()` for the name, and join lines with `\n`.

## Objectives

- `format_report("apollo", "ok", "moon", "13:32")` returns the
  exact 8-line string
- Only the name is uppercased
- Borders are 30 `=` characters
