+### Layer Name Templating

+The `layerName` option supports Mustache-style template variables for dynamic version interpolation:

+| Variable | Description | Example (for v10.2.3) |
+|----------|-------------|----------------------|
+| `{{{version}}}` | Full version string | `10.2.3` |
+| `{{{major}}}` | Major version number | `10` |
+| `{{{minor}}}` | Minor version number | `2` |
+| `{{{patch}}}` | Patch version number | `3` |
+
+This is useful when you want the layer name to reflect the SDK major version, making it easier for users to identify which version the layer supports.

+Example: `SentryNodeServerlessSDKv{{{major}}}` becomes `SentryNodeServerlessSDKv10` when publishing version `10.2.3`.
