Just looking for advice on formatting code for clarity - [SwiftUI Shape]
I actually don't see anything worth changing. It looks good to me. I think the most important thing is just to maintain the constructive attitude you already have about future-you dealing with the code, because only future-you will really know where you could have done better. One personal-preference thing I carried over from working on Go code is to look for a tool like gofmt [1,2] for Swift. I've been using swift-format [3] for about 2 years and haven't been dissatisfied enough to reach for something more fully featured like SwiftLint [4]. I didn't like the idea at first of delegating most formatting control over to a tool designed with someone else's subjective idea of formatting. But my feeling afterward was that it was freeing: it was no longer (completely) my job/burden/responsibility. An "assistant" would clean up the formatting of my code every time I saved the file. That's a nightmare if you can't configure the tool as much as you need, but if you're lucky and find a configuration you can live with, it lets you focus more on naming and other conventions that aren't so easily automated (yet).

Xcode 14.3 is completely unacceptable
I see 2 small contributions by someone who claims to work for Apple. https://github.com/swift-server/vscode-swift/graphs/contributors Apple didn't make it, not even close.

Getting Started with Swift on Server
Instead of XCode, you can also write Swift applications in VSCode. There is a vscode extension available for the language support. We love "auto format on save", which is a little tricky, but can be achieved by downloading and compiling swift-format:
