Oh I noticed that. It is my fault. I have created 0.2.5-2 to add this file, and I forgot to leave a comment here.

That is in the waywallen package at /usr/bin/waywallen-display-layer-shell.

For unknown reason the author do not change the installed filename. Let me see if I can report to the author about this.

This package is missing the waywallen-layer-shell binary, which is required for layer-shell based compositors (niri, sway, etc.). Without it, waywallen on these compositors starts but shows "no active renderers" and "No displays registered". After running
git clone https://github.com/waywallen/waywallen-display.git, cd waywallen-display, cargo build --package waywallen-display --bin waywallen-layer-shell --release and sudo cp target/release/waywallen-layer-shell /usr/bin/ then issue is gone and now it renders
