The record

Purpose: GFXReconstruct captures and replays GPU programming API calls, including Vulkan and Direct3D, for debugging, testing, and optimization.
Capture and replay: Capture records graphics API calls, parameters, and state to a file; replay can run without the application that generated the capture.
Tools: The repository includes capture layers and libraries, replay, capture information, compression, SPIR-V extraction, conversion, and optimization tools.
Use cases: The maker lists defect reproduction, API usage analysis, performance profiling, regression testing, and platform bring-up as use cases.
Integrations: The product page names Samsung Sokatoa, Arm Frame Advisor, Google Android Performance Analyzer, and Qualcomm Snapdragon Profiler as tools powered by GFXReconstruct.
Vulkan ecosystem: LunarG says GFXReconstruct can be used alongside Vulkan validation layers and the Vulkan Configurator.
Platform support: The repository’s capability table lists Vulkan capture and replay support for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.
Direct3D support: The repository lists Direct3D 12 capture and replay support for Windows only.
OpenXR limit: OpenXR support is experimental, limited to a subset of features and a small number of apps, and is not enabled in the SDK-built version.
Cross-platform replay limit: Cross-operating-system replay may work in some circumstances, but the repository says it is not generally supported unless specified.
License and appropriate use: The repository states that the project uses the MIT License and cautions that extracting assets without appropriate rights may violate copyrights or software licenses.
Audience: The maker describes the intended users as game and application developers, driver and GPU engineers, QA and validation teams, hardware vendors, platform teams, researchers, and tool builders.
