Description
Render test `text-pitch-alignment/viewport-text-depthtest` was found to have a regression that wasn't caught by the test because the pixel difference was below the error threshold value. The test was rebaselined as part of PR https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/10456 but the cause of the regression should be investigated further.

Research direction
Start with the render test `text-pitch-alignment/viewport-text-depthtest` and inspect PR 10456, which rebaselined it. Compare the before- and after-rebaselining images and trace why the pixel difference stayed below the error threshold. Done means the regression's cause is identified and the test no longer misses it.
