Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Gradle 9 contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Gradle 9
Current-contract area: `Project.javaexec` invocation removed from build logic
Likely root cause: Code generation task fails during configuration or execution with no application-source changes.
Repair direction: Verifier checks explicit modern configuration and supported daemon/toolchain separation.

Symptom

Code generation task fails during configuration or execution with no application-source changes.

Why This Happens

Build scripts can be syntactically plausible while the current build-system major removes implicit artifacts/APIs or raises its daemon runtime floor.

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.
