// # Finding (known-issues harvest): NVHPC 25.11 crashes compiling a target nowait
//   region in the worksharing loop of a parallel region
//
// - source: the NVIDIA forum topic 251225 (NVHPC 23.3, "Internal compiler error. targetinfo
//   symbol not found in uplevel struct"; TPR 33521, "fixed in our 25.7 release" per the vendor);
//   data/bench/harvest-known hk-030 (trip count num_iterations, the posted form); this file has a
//   constant trip count (data/reports/harvest-known/c030-const-trip.c), which fails the same way
// - compilers: NVHPC nvc 25.11, -mp=gpu -gpu=cc80; NVHPC 26.9 compiles and runs it
// - expected: the program compiles and prints bad = 0, RESULT ... check=pass: each target task
//   writes one element of a[i:1]; the deferred target tasks complete at the implicit barrier
//   that ends the parallel region
// - actual: "NVC++-F-0000-Internal compiler error. targetinfo symbol not found in uplevel struct
//   1209", both memory-mode builds
// - control (same compiler): without nowait the program compiles and runs
//   (data/reports/harvest-known/c030-no-nowait.c); NVHPC 26.9 compiles and runs this file
// - other families: AFAR compiles and runs it (bad = 0) on gfx90a and gfx942; CCE 19/20/21
//   compile it. CCE 19 and 21 at HSA_XNACK=0 lost one target task's element of the posted form
//   (hk-030) in the loaded matrix run (bad = 1, then 2; gate: nondeterministic; 20 repeats on an
//   idle node pass, as do its controls); not claimed
// - legality: "The target construct generates a target task ... If the nowait clause is
//   present, execution of the target task may be deferred" (OpenMP 5.2 §13.8 p.284 l.14-17).
//   Ruled legal by hand (fix; the confirmer's scope rule does not vet host parallel and
//   for, R04): a is shared in the parallel region, i is private to the worksharing loop and
//   firstprivate in the target; each target task maps a disjoint one-element section a[i:1], so
//   no storage is mapped twice; the deferred target tasks complete by the worksharing loop's
//   implicit barrier, and the host code that reads a runs after the region. An internal compiler
//   error is a defect on any input. The pre-run check accepts the program
// - evidence: results/harvest-known/main.wingtip (hk-030, gate: confirmed), results/harvest-known/probes.wingtip.jsonl
