Research direction
Investigate how Xenia currently handles asynchronous shader compilation. Look for existing UI notification infrastructure in the codebase, possibly in the 'xenia/ui' directory. Examine RPCS3's implementation for reference. Check issue comments for any additional context or suggestions from maintainers.
