1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors; and
instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a second wireless device, control signaling indicating a channel state information reference signal-resource indicator (CRI) for beam reporting;
receive a plurality of channel state information reference signals in accordance with the CRI;
transmit, to the second wireless device based at least in part on receiving the plurality of channel state information reference signals, a beam report indicating a first beamforming configuration and a second beamforming configuration associated with the CRI, wherein the first beamforming configuration is associated with at least one antenna module at the first wireless device, and wherein the second beamforming configuration is associated with the at least one antenna module and one or more passive devices configured to reflect signal energy to or from the at least one antenna module; and
communicate one or more messages with the second wireless device in accordance with the first beamforming configuration, the second beamforming configuration, or both.
