Description

Feature request

Loader layers currently have no convention for support when using something like issueLayer, for example with RSC

What is the expected behavior?

There should be a convention to specify or auto assign the layers used when creating the shares

What is motivation or use case for adding/changing the behavior?

RSC support likely will need loader layers or layers to work

How should this be implemented in your opinion?

Unsure but i think it needs to be cone at ConsumeShared and ProvideShared, either in the hooks or in the Module classes of these - but i do not know

Are you willing to work on this yourself? yes

Research direction
Start by examining the source code for ConsumeSharedModule and ProvideSharedModule in the webpack repository. Understand how the current share mechanism works without layers. Look for related discussions in this issue's comments to gather more context on how RSC and issuerLayer might interact. Consider proposing a convention for specifying layers when creating shares.
