Swipe actions were a primary reason for using List in SwiftUI. As you may recall, I’ve mentioned several times that a scroll view paired with lazy stacks is the preferred approach in most scenarios, except when swipe actions are required.

SwiftUI's new `swipeActionsContainer` view modifier enables swipe actions outside of `List`, allowing developers to use them in scroll views, lazy stacks, and custom layouts. Previously, swipe actions were exclusive to `List`. By attaching `.swipeActionsContainer()` to any container and `.swipeActions` to individual items, you get native swipe behavior including single-row reveal, scroll-dismiss, and tap-outside-dismiss — without being forced to use `List`.
