Rows * Columns must be > 1

Error message

Rows * Columns must be > 1

What it means

TextureReinterpretationError (layer-count guard): reinterpreting a 2D image as a 2D array texture requires more than one layer (rows*columns > 1), otherwise wgpu would emit a render validation error — so the reinterpretation is rejected up front.

Solutions

1. Ensure the reinterpreted layout has at least 2 total layers (e.g. 1x2 or 2x1 grid)
2. Only reinterpret to array form when the source can supply multiple layers
