Next.js does not work with cascade layers

The problem is that any components loaded in app/layout that contain CSS will have their CSS bundled before the global CSS imported in app/layout. This means that if any of the bundled CSS uses Cascade Layers (@layer), then the layers will be defined in the wrong order.

In this demo, the expected cascade layers are defined in global.css:

@layer test {
  @layer reset;
  @layer base;
  @layer components;
  @layer utils;
}

So styles in @layer test.utils should always have precendence over @layer test.components. However, because the CSS in app/layout is bundled before the global CSS, the cascade layers are defined like @layer test.utils and then @layer test.components, resulting in the wrong order.

Test

Test PASSES if the text is blue. Test FAILS if the text is red.
