PURPOSE: Provides a stable shape identifier for lookup, selection, attribute access, joins, and other layer-level operations.

BEHAVIOR: The identifier is unique within a layer and is used to distinguish one shape from another in vector-layer workflows.

USAGE: Use this property when a shape must be referenced by an application-defined or layer-managed key.

CONSTRAINTS: Read-only. Uniqueness is guaranteed only within the owning layer, not globally across all layers.
