Why a ListView in a Column throws 'Vertical viewport was given unbounded height', and the four fixes (Expanded, Flexible, shrinkWrap, SizedBox) with the performance trade-offs that decide which one you want.

RenderBox was not laid out is almost always a secondary error. Find the first layout assertion above it, usually a scrollable given unbounded constraints, and fix that.

The fix in 30 seconds: wrap the offending child in Expanded or Flexible. Then read the rest to learn why Row and Column do not clip, what unbounded constraints actually mean, and which fix is right for each layout.
