Research direction
Start by reading proposals/0005-cbuffer-contexts.md to understand the HLSL 202x requirement. Then locate the compiler's validation for namespace declarations within cbuffer declarations. Done means such declarations are rejected in accordance with the proposal, with existing valid cbuffer syntax remaining unaffected.
