Description
TL;DR: what SPIRV-Cross does today for atomics isn't guaranteed to work on Metal.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how SPIRV-Cross currently handles atomic operations for Metal, then read the linked WebGPU issues for the portability constraints. The issue does not name files, tests, or a concrete expected change; the work is complete only once the required Metal-compatible atomic behavior and validation are defined.
