Suggestion for improving Figma Code Layers

Add the ability for Figma Make to change Figma layers, just like Figma's default agent does (possibly through Skills). I'm currently creating a text layer in Figma that requires a custom text effect. I've noticed an interesting thing: when changing the layer—the container for which Figma Make creates content—during resizing, it automatically adjusts to the frame size (Figma's default animation is shown, and the code reacts to it). However, if this is, for example, a text layer, and the number of vertical lines increases during resizing, Figma Make can't automatically change the container—the Figma layer. That is, Figma Make can understand that the layer is resizing and adapt to this change, but it can't adapt the Figma layer itself (resize it relative to its code). It can only work with the contents of the code layer itself, not with the Figma layer. So, I can't create a code layer that, for example, changes in the same way as the default text container in Figma (which resizes vertically when the layer itself resizes), because Figma Make with a code layer can't change the layer itself that it generates (its dimensions)
