Research direction

Reproduce the panic with the shown mi_block_s declaration and the _Atomic(mi_encoded_t) field, using the AST and type-processing output in the issue as reference. Trace the Atomic type handling and conversion path; done means this declaration no longer panics and the field type is processed successfully.
