+// Scenario - gl_ClipDistance ACTUALLY CLIPS, AND ONLY WHERE IT IS ENABLED.
+//
+// CapabilityInput::ClipDistance0..7 existed end to end - the GL enum converted to it, the
+// string converter named it, glEnable(GL_CLIP_DISTANCE0 + i) raised no error - and then
+// RenderState::SetCapability had no case for it and dropped it into `default: break`. Nothing
+// was stored, no version was bumped, and neither backend ever heard about it. The shader half
+// worked all along (SPIRV-Cross emits gl_ClipDistance with a
+// `#extension GL_EXT_clip_cull_distance : require` that Adreno accepts), so the distances were
+// computed and then ignored: no clipping ever happened on DirectGLES, which is the whole of
+// KHR-GLxx.clip_distance.functional. glIsEnabled lied about it too - it returned GL_FALSE
+// immediately after a successful glEnable.
+//
+// The assertions are behavioural, not query-shaped, because a query-only test passes against a
+// backend that stores the bit and never forwards it. Each case draws one full-viewport triangle
+// whose clip distance is positive on one side of the viewport and negative on the other, then
+// checks BOTH sides: the kept side proves the draw happened at all, and the clipped side is the
+// actual claim. The disabled case is the negative control - the identical shader with the
+// identical distances and the enable turned off must leave both sides painted, which is what
+// says the pixels below are being removed by clipping and not by something else.
+//
+// HONEST LIMIT OF THIS FILE IN CI. Of the four cases, only EnableIsObservableThroughIsEnabled is
+// falsifiable on the software rasterizers every automated lane runs on. llvmpipe and lavapipe
+// clip by EVERY declared gl_ClipDistance regardless of the enables, so
+// AnEnabledClipDistanceRemovesTheNegativeHalf goes green there against the broken tree as well,
+// and the two cases that need real per-distance semantics skip (see
+// DriverHonoursPerDistanceEnables). What actually pins the behaviour is Adreno, through
+// KHR-GLxx.clip_distance.functional - whose "without dynamic redeclaration" variants declare all
+// gl_MaxClipDistances slots and enable only the first N, i.e. exactly the subset semantics these
+// skipped cases assert. Read a green CI run here as "the state survives the frontend", not as
+// "clipping is correct"; the second claim is a device claim.
+//
+// Every case disables all eight distances on entry rather than assuming they start off:
+// XfbAfterClipDistanceScenario deliberately leaves one enabled for the rest of the process, and
+// forwarding the enables is what turned that leftover from inert bookkeeping into live driver
+// state.

+// KHR-GL43.copy_image.non_existent_mipmap, and what it cost.
+//
+// The CTS case is a pure negative test: two 16x16 textures that have level 0 and
+// nothing else, and a glCopyImageSubData naming level 1. The answer is
+// GL_INVALID_VALUE (GL 4.6 core 18.3.2 / ARB_copy_image: "srcLevel/dstLevel is not
+// a valid level"). MobileGL's frontend only checked the level against
+// GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, so level 1 sailed through into the backends, DirectVulkan
+// resolved it into a VkImageCopy subresource on a VkImage that was created with
+// exactly one mip level, and the Adreno driver dereferenced the level it was
+// promised - SIGSEGV inside vkCmdCopyImage, taking the whole glcts process down
+// mid-run. A negative case must never do that.
+//
+// So the level-1-on-a-one-level-texture rejection is the regression proper, and the
+// rest of this file is what keeps the fix honest. A validator that answered
+// GL_INVALID_VALUE to every level would satisfy the regression tests alone, so the
+// scenarios below pin the BOUNDARY rather than the symptom:
+//
+//   * a texture that really does have two levels must accept a copy at level 1,
+//   * the same texture must still reject level 2,
+//   * and a plain level-0 copy must move pixels, which is checked by reading the
+//     destination back rather than by trusting glGetError.
+//
+// Both backends are covered because the fix is in the shared frontend: DirectGLES
+// forwards to the ES glCopyImageSubData (whose own error lands in the ES context,
+// not in MobileGL's, so it never reached the application either) and DirectVulkan
+// records the copy itself.

+// Three shipped defects, all of them invisible to a test that only ever attaches a 2D texture
+// or only ever asks the default framebuffer for a colour value.
+//
+// (1) The ES depth/stencil readback emulation identifies the source format by binding the
+//     attachment's texture NAME to GL_TEXTURE_2D and asking that target for its internal
+//     format. A name whose target is GL_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY (attached by
+//     glFramebufferTextureLayer) makes the bind answer GL_INVALID_OPERATION and change
+//     nothing - so the query then truthfully describes whatever texture was already on
+//     GL_TEXTURE_2D, which on that path is the emulation's own staging scratch. A wrong
+//     answer that looks like a right one: the staging blit is issued between mismatched
+//     depth formats, ES rejects it, and the read reports nothing at all.
+//
+// (2) Adreno answers GL_NONE for GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_OBJECT_TYPE on an attachment made
+//     by glFramebufferTexture (a cube map, attached layered) while still reporting its depth
+//     and stencil bits correctly. The emulation took OBJECT_TYPE as the sole witness for "is
+//     there an aspect here at all" and declined the whole read.
+//
+// (3) DirectGLES never told the frontend what its default framebuffer's depth/stencil format
+//     actually is, so the placeholder from MG_Impl/Init.cpp - GL_DEPTH32F_STENCIL8 - was what
+//     every attachment query answered, whatever the surface really had. That is not cosmetic:
+//     GL blits depth/stencil only between IDENTICAL formats, so an application that reads
+//     GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_DEPTH_SIZE, allocates the buffer it was just told about and
+//     blits gets GL_INVALID_OPERATION - and a rejected glBlitFramebuffer transfers NOTHING,
+//     colour bits included. DirectVulkan has published its real format since the swapchain
+//     work; this is the half that was missing.
+//
+// Every case poisons its destination with a value the correct answer cannot be, so "the
+// backend wrote nothing" fails loudly instead of passing on stale memory. The plain
+// GL_TEXTURE_2D case at the end is the built-in control: it shares every line of the readback
+// path with the array and cube cases, so its passing is what says a failure above is about the
+// attachment's SHAPE and not about depth readback in general.
+//
+// The scenario name starts with DepthStencilReadback on purpose - that is the filter the
+// forced-emulation ctest registration uses (MG_IntegrationTest/CMakeLists.txt), and without
+// that registration these cases are unfalsifiable on llvmpipe, which accepts the native ES
+// depth reads that the Adreno device does not have.

+//
+// Every destination is poisoned with a value the correct answer cannot be, so "the
+// backend wrote nothing" fails loudly instead of passing on a coincidence - a test that
+// only checked "no GL error" would pass against a readback that never touched the buffer,
+// which is precisely how this whole cluster hid for so long.

+// Scenario - GLSL DOUBLES, RUN AT SINGLE PRECISION.
+//
+// No mobile GPU has 64-bit floats. Adreno and Mali both report shaderFloat64 == VK_FALSE, so
+// Magma cannot build a module that declares the Float64 capability, and ESSL has no fp64 type
+// at all, so SPIRV-Cross refuses the module outright on Espryt ("FP64 not supported in ES
+// profile") and the program never reaches the driver. MobileGL therefore narrows every 64-bit
+// float in a shader to 32 bits (ShaderTranspiler::DemoteFloat64Pass) rather than declining the
+// shader: `double` compiles and runs everywhere, at float precision.
+//
+// The narrowing is only half a contract. The other half is the API side: the global UBO is
+// laid out by reflecting the DEMOTED module, so glUniform*d has to store a float where the
+// shader reads a float, glGetUniform*v has to read one back, and a dmat4's columns are now
+// std140-padded like any other matrix's. Every one of those is a byte offset that fails
+// silently - the uniform simply reads as something else - so the cases below set values
+// through the API and have the SHADER report what it saw.
+//
+// What is deliberately NOT asserted: that the values are exact to double precision. They are
+// not, and cannot be. Every expectation here is the float value of the double that was set,
+// which is the whole point.

+// gl_BaseVertex / gl_BaseInstance / gl_DrawID (GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters),
+// read straight out of the shader that a draw command produced.
+//
+// Neither backend has these builtins for free, and each is wrong in its own way
+// when nobody watches:
+//
+//   * DirectVulkan HAS a BaseVertex builtin, but Vulkan's carries the draw's
+//     firstVertex on a NON-INDEXED draw where GL's is defined to be zero ("the
+//     value passed to the baseVertex parameter, or zero for a command with no
+//     such parameter"). Only the indexed meaning of the two agrees. Every
+//     DrawArrays form therefore takes the ZeroBaseVertex program variant.
+//   * DirectGLES has no such builtins at all: ESSL knows none of them, so the
+//     transpiler demotes each one to a uniform the draw paths feed. A uniform
+//     nobody writes keeps whatever the previous draw left in it - which is what
+//     made gl_BaseVertex report a stale base vertex, and what made
+//     gl_BaseInstance read an unbound storage buffer on a plain glDrawArrays.
+//
+// The shader paints the three values, so a draw that carries the wrong ones
+// paints the wrong colour rather than merely disagreeing with an expectation
+// somewhere. The framebuffer is cleared to WHITE and no case expects 255 in any
+// channel, so "the draw did not happen" can never be mistaken for a pass.

+// Scenario - AN IMAGE UNIFORM THAT DECLARES NO FORMAT.
+//
+// Desktop GLSL 4.2 lets a writeonly image declaration omit its format layout qualifier:
+//
+//     writeonly uniform uimage2D uni_image;      // legal desktop GLSL
+//
+// GLSL ES has no such relaxation; every image uniform must carry one, and Adreno says so as "all
+// images have to define layout format", which fails the whole program. That is what took the
+// compute half of KHR-GL4x.packed_depth_stencil.stencil_texturing.
+//
+// The only qualifier that is CORRECT to substitute is whatever glBindImageTexture named for the
+// unit that uniform addresses - GL requires the qualifier, the bind format and the texture's
+// internal format to belong to one format class - so the format is not knowable when the shader
+// is compiled, only when it is drawn with. Espryt therefore BAKES it into the program it
+// generates and keys that program on the (unit, format) pairs it baked
+// (BackendProgramObjectImpl::ImageUnitFormatsStillMatch, MG_Backend/DirectGLES).
+//
+// Three separate things follow from "the program is built against live binding state", and each
+// one is a case below:
+//
+//   1. the format reaches the shader at all, so the store lands where the texture is (Writes);
+//   2. binding a DIFFERENT format to the same unit rebuilds the program, rather than reusing one
+//      compiled against the old format (RebindToADifferentFormatRebuilds);
+//   3. an image bound for the FIRST time after the link works, i.e. the program built against
+//      "nothing bound yet" is not the one the dispatch runs (FirstBindAfterLinkRebuilds).
+//
+// Magma needs none of this - Vulkan takes an Unknown-format storage image given
+// shaderStorageImageWriteWithoutFormat, and the view format is resolved from the same bind state
+// at descriptor time - so every case here runs on both backends and must agree, which is what
+// makes the ES-only machinery falsifiable rather than merely exercised.

+// Scenario - ONE IMAGE TARGET KIND AT A TIME, THROUGH A COMPUTE DISPATCH.
+//
+// KHR-GL44.multi_bind.dispatch_bind_image_textures decomposed. That conformance case declares
+// ELEVEN image uniforms of eleven different target kinds in one compute shader, binds a texture
+// of the matching kind to each unit, sums one texel from every one of them and compares the sum
+// against N*(N-1)/2. It is a single pass/fail bit over eleven independent mechanisms: if any one
+// of them is wrong - or merely fails to compile - the case fails and says nothing about which.
+// That is what it did here, on both backends, for two waves.
+//
+// So the eleven are pulled apart into one case each. Each case declares ONE image uniform, binds
+// ONE texture and checks the value that comes back, so a failure names the target kind and the
+// direction. What the conformance case does with eleven at once, AllKindsInOneProgram at the
+// bottom still does - a defect that only appears when several kinds share a program is invisible
+// to the single-kind cases by construction.
+//
+// The shape is deliberately the conformance case's own, not a cleaner equivalent:
+//
+//   * r32ui / GL_R32UI throughout, 6x6x6 storage, one level, texel (0,0,0) read;
+//   * `layout (location = N, r32ui) readonly uniform` - an explicit uniform LOCATION, not a
+//     binding, with the image unit then assigned by glUniform1i. That combination is the one ES
+//     cannot express directly, because ES forbids glUniform1i on an image uniform and the unit
+//     has to be baked into the generated ESSL (RebindImageUniformsToFrontendUnits);
+//   * `layout (std140, ...) buffer` for the result block - legal, but unusual enough that a
+//     frontend could plausibly mishandle it. Mirroring it means a green scenario cannot be green
+//     for a reason the conformance case excludes;
+//   * glBindImageTexture with layered = GL_TRUE, which is what glBindImageTextures is specified
+//     to pass, and which is where a target kind whose layeredness a backend does not recognise
+//     goes wrong.
+//
+// MULTISAMPLE is the one kind that is not merely an emulation problem, and the conformance case
+// already knows it: it reads GL_MAX_IMAGE_SAMPLES and, when that is zero, substitutes a plain 2D
+// texture and a plain uimage2D for both multisample entries. MobileGL reports zero, so the
+// conformance case never asks it for a multisample image at all. The two cases below are kept
+// and skip on that same query, so the coverage is already written the day a backend advertises
+// them - and so the skip is a standing record of WHY the conformance case passes without them.

+//
+// The case is small and does one unusual thing twice: it turns half of
+// GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS attribute arrays on and the other half off with
+// glEnableVertexArrayAttrib / glDisableVertexArrayAttrib on a vertex array object
+// that is NOT bound (it binds the default one first, on purpose), draws one point
+// through a program that reads exactly the enabled half, and checks the sum those
+// arrays produced. Then it swaps which half is enabled, draws again through a
+// SECOND program, and checks the other sum.
+//
+// Both draws capture into ONE four-byte transform feedback buffer, allocated once
+// with immutable storage and read back with glMapBuffer - so anything that only
+// works on the first capture span through a buffer fails the second check while
+// leaving the first one green.
+//
+// It is reassembled here rather than shortened because every one of those details
+// is a candidate: the unbound-VAO enables, the two-program swap, the integer
+// attributes fetched with glVertexAttribIPointer at a stride wider than one
+// element, the second capture span, and the fact that the sums differ ONLY in
+// which arrays contributed (a fetch that ignored the enable state, or one that
+// read the wrong element, lands on a different number, not on garbage).

+// ONE capture buffer, SEVERAL capture spans - the shape most KHR-GL4x cases that
+// use transform feedback as a readback channel are built on. They allocate the
+// capture buffer once in a setup step and then run span after span through it,
+// so a defect that only shows from the second span onwards fails the whole case
+// while the first span (and every single-span scenario in this suite) stays
+// green. The first thing checked here is therefore not the capture itself but
+// that the bytes the capture wrote are the bytes the readback reads.
+//
+// Two ways of reusing the buffer, because they exercise different machinery:
+//
+//   * respecified between spans (glBufferData while the buffer is still bound to
+//     the transform-feedback binding point), which is what a test helper that
+//     poisons its capture buffer before every span does;
+//   * allocated ONCE with immutable storage and never touched again, which is
+//     what KHR-GL45.direct_state_access.vertex_arrays_enable_disable_attributes
+//     does - glBufferStorage(4 bytes) in its setup, then two draws.
+//
+// The negative control (a fresh buffer object per span) is a separate case
+// rather than a parameter: it is the configuration that already worked, so it
+// has to keep working for the others to mean anything.
