 Workarounds
 ===========
 
+KK_WORKAROUND_11
+----------------
+| macOS version: 26.5
+| Metal ticket: FB22683138
+| Metal ticket status: Waiting resolution
+| CTS test failure: ``dEQP-VK.api.object_management.multithreaded_per_thread_device.merged_pipeline_cache``
+| Comments:
+
+If multiple MTL4Compiler instances are created and used concurrently, they may
+corrupt the heap and crash the application. This has been verified
+independently of KosmicKrisp and reported to Apple using a small demo
+application which directly uses Metal.
+
+The CTS test in question here creates an instance, physical device, and device
+for each of multiple threads, and intentionally creates several pipelines in
+each thread at the same time.
+
+To work around this, maintain a table of devices to compilers, and use it to
+ensure that each device only has one compiler instance to share. `MTLDevice`
+instances are unique within the process, so no matter how many Vulkan devices
+we create, the same GPU uses the same `MTLDevice`. Each `MTL4Compiler` instance
+is still capable of performing concurrent compilation.
