/**
 * BoundaryTraversal
 * <p>
 * Start with the Root:
 * Add the root node to the boundary list.
 * Traverse the Left Boundary (Excluding Leaf Nodes):
 * Move down the left side of the tree, adding each non-leaf node to the boundary list.
 * If a node has a left child, go left; otherwise, go right.
 * Visit All Leaf Nodes:
 * Traverse the tree and add all leaf nodes to the boundary list, from left to right.
 * Traverse the Right Boundary (Excluding Leaf Nodes) in Reverse Order:
 * Move up the right side of the tree, adding each non-leaf node to a temporary list.
 * If a node has a right child, go right; otherwise, go left.
 * Reverse the temporary list and add it to the boundary list.
 * Combine and Output:
 * The final boundary list contains the root, left boundary, leaf nodes, and reversed right boundary in that order.
