Layer GUI Registration

Each layer type registers its own GUI function via registerLayerGui. During setup, all types get a default fallback that displays "No layerGui available for '<type>'". Layer-type modules (decal, fill, group, etc.) override this during their own setup().


Usage Example

-- Register a custom inspector GUI for decal layers
local inspector = extensions.editor_dynamicDecals_inspector
local api = extensions.editor_api_dynamicDecals

inspector.registerLayerGui(api.layerTypes.decal, function(layer, guiId)
  im.TextUnformatted("Custom decal inspector for: " .. layer.name)
end)
