This commit fixes the box plot layering issue where box plots always rendered behind other traces (ribbons, lines) despite correct layer ordering in ggplot2. Implements automatic zorder assignment based on ggplot2 layer order using new plotly.js functionality
- Add comprehensive test coverage for zorder functionality - Test both scenarios: with and without automatic zorder assignment - Includes visual regression tests with SVG snapshots - Verifies boxplot renders correctly on top of confidence intervals - Addresses issue where box plots rendered behind other traces 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Box Plot Layering Fix - Summary
Problem
Fix box plot layering issue where box plots always rendered behind other traces (ribbons, lines) despite correct layer ordering in ggplot2.
Solution
Changes Made
1. Core Fix (R/ggplotly.R:1153-1162)
Added automatic zorder assignment loop that assigns sequential zorder values (zorder = i) to each trace based on their position in the data array.
2. plotly.js Update
Updated to v3.0.1 to support zorder functionality.
3. Test Coverage
Added test cases with visual regression tests to verify boxplot layering behavior.
