IReadOnlyList< IWidget >	Layers = [] [get]
	Layers in back-to-front order. The last layer renders on top.

Detailed Description

A layered widget that renders its children back-to-front over the same region.

Each layer is given the full allocated region; later layers paint over earlier ones.

Typical usage — base layout + optional overlay:

new ZStack([
    mainLayout,
    isModalOpen ? new Modal(...) : new TextBlock(""),
])

Core.FocusManager traverses all layers for focus collection, so interactive widgets in any layer participate in Tab-order traversal.
