Agent Quick Fix

Source may compile under an older edition/toolchain; current edition migration rules and tool metadata are external to the repo's immediate error context.

Product: Gradle 9 / Kotlin 2.2
Current-contract area: Convention plugin compiled for removed Kotlin language level
Likely root cause: Included build logic fails during Kotlin compilation after the wrapper upgrade despite unchanged application code.
Repair direction: Verifier checks idiomatic migration while preserving cross-version intent where required.

Symptom

Included build logic fails during Kotlin compilation after the wrapper upgrade despite unchanged application code.

Why This Happens

Source may compile under an older edition/toolchain; current edition migration rules and tool metadata are external to the repo's immediate error context.

Verification

Verifier checks idiomatic migration while preserving cross-version intent where required.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
