1. A method for wireless communications at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a feedback report configuration that indicates, for at least a subset of a set of feedback processes, a type of feedback that is to be reported for each feedback process of the subset of feedback processes;
determining, based at least in part on the feedback report configuration, whether a first feedback process of the subset of feedback processes has a multicast-only configuration wherein the first feedback process can be applied at the UE for only multicast data communications, or whether the first feedback process has a multicast-or-unicast configuration wherein the first feedback process can be applied at the UE for either multicast data communications or for unicast data communications but not for both multicast data communications and unicast data communications concurrently; and
decoding one or more transmissions associated with the first feedback process based at least in part on whether the first feedback process has the multicast-only configuration or the multicast-or-unicast configuration.
