+a soundness issue, the intent is to move an error from runtime to compile time. This issue has been fixed and restored to the 22.0.0 behavior.

 ### The `diagnostic(…);` directive is now supported in WGSL
 
 Naga now parses `diagnostic(…);` directives according to the WGSL spec. This allows users to control certain lints, similar to Rust's `allow`, `warn`, and `deny` attributes. For example, in standard WGSL (but, notably, not Naga yet—see <https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/4369>) this snippet would emit a uniformity error:
