Class HudElementRootMarker
Marks a GameObject as one HUD element's own root container, so code walking a built HUD's hierarchy can tell where one element ends and another begins — most importantly once a FLEXBOX box has reparented a child element underneath it.
Namespace: Serenity.GameUi.Infrastructure.Views
Assembly: Serenity.UnityGameUi.Infrastructure.dll
Syntax
public sealed class HudElementRootMarker : MonoBehaviourRemarks
Carries no data of its own; its presence is the whole signal. Serenity.GameUi.Infrastructure.Views.UnityHudElementView.ApplyTextStyle(UnityEngine.RectTransform,Serenity.GameUi.Infrastructure.Settings.UnityHudElementDefinition,Serenity.GameUi.Infrastructure.Representations.HudRenderResources) is what actually reads it: its typeface/colour sweep stops descending the moment it meets a nested marker, so a parent box can never re-style a reparented child's text out from under it.
Today ApplyTextStyle runs exactly once per element, inside Construct, strictly before
HudElementHierarchy ever reparents anything — no path in this codebase re-styles an
already-built HUD (there is no theme hot-reload or live-restyle trigger for it), so the guard has nothing
to catch yet. It stays in place as intentional hardening for whichever re-entrant styling path is added
first — a theme change applied live, or a settings-driven restyle — so that path is correct against
nested elements from the moment it exists, rather than needing this guard bolted on retroactively once
someone discovers a parent box can re-stomp a reparented child's typography.

Declaration
public HudElementRootMarker()Methods
MarksForeignRoot(Transform)
Whether candidate carries this marker — true for a DIFFERENT HUD element's own
(possibly reparented) root, false otherwise. The single boundary predicate every own-component walk
that must stop at a nested element's root passes to CollectOwn<T>(Transform, Transform, List<T>, Func<Transform, bool>):
UnityHudElementView.CollectOwnText (own text styling) and UnityHudHostComponent.BuildAnimator
(UiColor Graphic collection registration) both construct their walk with this method rather than each
keeping its own hand-copied predicate — three identical one-line lambdas used to exist across this
class's callers and the test suite before they were unified here.
