+   /// ```swift
+   /// struct ProductListView: View {
+   ///     @State private var selectedProduct: Product?
+   ///     let products: [Product]
+   ///
+   ///     var body: some View {

+   ///             ProductRow(product: product)
+   ///         }

+   ///             // Auto-select first product only once,
+   ///             // not when navigating back

+   /// - Initial data loading or setup
+   /// - One-time animations or tutorials
+   /// - Analytics events that should only fire once
+   /// - Auto-selection of initial values
+   ///
+   /// - Parameter perform: The closure to execute on first appearance.
