Implement a type-safe DSL in Kotlin for a UI component
Tests understanding of Kotlin's type-safe builders via lambdas with receivers. A great answer defines model classes, creates a top-level builder function taking a `Receiver.() -> Unit` lambda, and defines nested builder methods.
This tests your deep understanding of Kotlin's type-safe builders, specifically how lambdas with receivers (`Receiver.() -> Unit`) create declarative DSLs. A strong answer defines data classes for the UI model, implements a top-level builder function that applies a lambda to a new instance, and adds nested builder methods within the model classes to build the hierarchy. A common red flag is describing a standard builder pattern with method chaining, which misses the point of the implicit `this` context that makes Kotlin DSLs powerful.
