Discussion Use depthAlignment(_:content:) to specify a depth guide for aligning subviews of this layout. In the example below, the button to play the robot animation is aligned to the .front of the HStack.    HStackLayout().depthAlignment(.front) {        RobotModel()        Button("Play animation") {            playRobotAnimation()        }        .glassBackgroundEffect()    }
