Description

Window stacks do not keep a consistent order.

For instance, let's say I stacked VS Code (focused and raised) on top of Firefox.
Opening a new Firefox window will also bring the stacked Firefox window to the front.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported scenario on macOS: stack a focused VS Code window above Firefox, then open a new Firefox window. Trace the window-stack ordering behavior in yabai and verify that opening another window does not move the already stacked Firefox window ahead of the focused window.
