+// Adreno drivers miscompute the tiled GEMM family of shaders for near-square
+// local work groups. With an 8x8x1 group (and with 4x16x1) entire work groups
+// intermittently write garbage while every other block is bit-exact. These
+// shaders have no shared memory and no barriers and their invocations are
+// independent, so the result cannot legitimately depend on the group shape.
+// A 2:1 x:y ratio, which yields 16x4x1 at the default 64 threads, is correct
+// across every run measured and is the cheapest correct shape. See #22327.
