Description

Adds Mesa Vulkan layers that users, developers, or tools can enable explicitly for graphics testing, diagnostics, or compatibility behavior. They are useful when investigating Vulkan applications on Mesa-based drivers or comparing how applications behave with specific layers active.

This is a graphics runtime add-on, not a visible application. Enabling explicit layers can change how Vulkan programs run, so they are mainly useful for troubleshooting and development rather than everyday desktop use.
