# GPU ElementSet Demo: Immutable Fields + Type Stability
#
# Demonstrates:
# 1. ElementSet pattern with type-stable fields
# 2. GPU kernel execution with immutable field access
# 3. GENERAL approach: Elements go to GPU with connectivity inside
# 4. Zero-allocation assembly loop pattern
# 5. Creating new field containers between time steps (cheap!)
#
# Key architectural decision:
# - Element struct contains connectivity (NTuple - immutable, zero-cost)
# - Fields live in ElementSet (type-stable, immutable)
# - GPU kernel receives Vector{Element} directly (general!)
# - Connectivity accessed via element.connectivity on GPU
#
# This uses MOCK GPU execution (no CUDA.jl dependency) to show the pattern.
# Real GPU code would look identical - that's the point!

"""
GPU kernel for element assembly - GENERAL VERSION.

Works with Element struct directly (connectivity inside elements).

Key points:
1. Elements vector is transferred to GPU (struct-of-arrays pattern)
2. Fields are immutable (read-only access)
3. Type-stable: Element{N,B} has known connectivity length N
4. Zero allocations (connectivity is NTuple, immutable)

In real CUDA: Each thread processes one element
