What Happened?

After compiling the extension, installation fails with [ROOT][TMP]/install_6604243101b97/site/layouts

This happens when there are now "Layouts" in use in the component.

The compiler automatically adds <folder>layout</folder> to the XML even when it's not needed.

Removing the line from the XML fixes the issue and the component installs properly

Adding a dummy layout to the component also fixes the issue

The JCB compiler has since been updated to ensure that all required layout directories are created during compilation, even when no layouts are explicitly used.

This ensures that the generated component structure matches its installation manifest, preventing the reported installation error.
As this issue has been addressed in the current JCB releases, we will be closing it as resolved.
