The shirt reads LET’S ROOT FOR EACH OTHER AND WATCH EACH OTHER GROW, and the words wrap around four smiling root vegetables — a carrot, a radish, a beet, and an onion — each drawn with its roots visible in soil.

You tap a button. A label updates. And then, for reasons that seem to have nothing to do with the code you just wrote, a completely different view slides across the screen. You didn’t wrap anything in withAnimation. You didn’t attach .animation(_:) to that view. Yet it moved. This is the signature of an implicit
