Description
I noticed that setting depthTest: false on my layer parameters stopped working after upgrading from 9.0.x to 9.1.x. My understanding is that this is intentional, as these parameters are passed straight to luma.gl and in luma.gl V9 those parameters were changed to align with WebGPU, so depthTest is out and depthCompare is in.
If that understanding is correct, there are a number of places in the docs which still refer to depthTest (or other removed WebGL parameters) which could stand to be updated.

Research direction
Start with the linked repository code search for depthTest and review each documentation example that still recommends it. Confirm the relevant parameter names against the referenced luma.gl change, then update the affected documentation so examples no longer recommend removed WebGL parameters and verify the search finds no stale guidance.
