+// VK_ANDROID_frame_boundary is a bespoke extension defined by AGI

+// HWUI. This extension is not defined in Khronos, hence the need to declare it
+// manually here. There's a superseding extension (VK_EXT_frame_boundary) being
+// discussed in Khronos, but in the meantime we use the bespoke
+// VK_ANDROID_frame_boundary. This is a device extension that is implemented by
+// AGI's Vulkan capture layer, such that it is only supported by devices when
+// AGI is doing a capture of the app.
+//
+// TODO(b/182165045): use the Khronos blessed VK_EXT_frame_boudary once it has
+// landed in the spec.
