Exploring NavigationStack

When SwiftUI was introduced, the basic navigation mechanism was based on a view called NavigationView. However, NavigationView was too simple for most apps, and NavigationStack replaced it. In fact, Apple deprecated NavigationView, starting with iOS 18.

struct ContentView: View {
