[PASS] PanVk-Bifrost compute dispatch wrote the expected pattern.
===== RC=0 =====

===== RUN #2 (VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation enabled) =====
$ PAN_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER=1 \
  VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation ./probe_compute

[same step trace as above]
[info] buffer[0] = 0xcafebabe (expected 0xcafebabe)
[PASS] PanVk-Bifrost compute dispatch wrote the expected pattern.
===== RC=0 =====

No validation-layer warnings or errors emitted. (vkCreateInstance succeeded
with the layer string in VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS, which implies the loader found
and activated the layer; otherwise it would return VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT.)

===== STABILITY: 5 consecutive reruns =====
