Description
The inline cache exporter only supports min cache mode, to expand inline cache exporter to max mode, I recommend using the referrers api to associate the original image with the build cache.

Research direction
Start by locating the inline cache exporter and its import path, then read the linked OCI distribution-spec section on pushing manifests with a subject. The proposed work is to support max cache mode by using the referrers API to associate the original image with build cache; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
