Research direction

Start with the referenced sycl/test/abi/layout_exception.cpp example and inspect the core spec struct definitions in unified-runtime. Add automated ABI layout checks for those structs and verify that the tests detect unintended layout changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Testing of ABI stability should be automated, e.g. as for sycl::exception. This would remove the chances of human error and avoid accidental ABI breakages.
