One line. version in the root gradle.properties, 0.3.40.3.5.

That is the whole diff, and it is the direct payoff of #192/#202. During 0.3.4 prep this same operation touched six places, five were bumped, and the sixth — the hand-written PLUGIN_VERSION literal in plugin source — was caught only by a reviewer's grep. Had it shipped, every upgrading consumer would have silently kept running the old tool binary out of ~/.gradle/kplusplus/tools/0.3.4/. That literal no longer exists.

Deliberately NOT changed

The three consumed pins — root settings.gradle.kts, samples/minimal, samples/multiproject/bindingsstay at 0.3.4. The repo self-hosts one release behind; they can only move once 0.3.5 exists on the Portal. verifyConsumedPluginPins (also from #202) was run against this change and accepts it as a legal one-release lag — its first exercise on a real release.

What 0.3.5 ships

Verification

Full gate on main @ a65d066 immediately before the bump — the "known bugs?" check, not inferred from each PR having been green individually:

krapper       304 / 0
featuregen    195 / 0
cppfixture      2 / 0
noncopyableDeterminismCheck  green
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 4m 39s (34/34 tasks executed)

-p compiler check green at 0.3.5 including apiCheck and verifyConsumedPluginPins.

Reviewer note

Release mechanics; no production code changes. Worth checking: nothing else needed bumping (the single-source claim from #202 holds in practice), the three pins correctly left alone, and the publish path still consistent with the single bundled tool + shaded jar.

Follow-up, immediately after publish

One change: bump the three pins 0.3.4 → 0.3.5 and delete the root build.gradle.kts apply false workaround (#193/#194), whose comment names exactly this condition. It cannot land earlier — release.yml builds :krapper on main to cut the release, and until 0.3.5 exists the pin cannot move off the unshaded 0.3.4.

In-progress review — checkpoint 1 (posting early per instructions; more to follow).

Reviewed (in progress): 251ec65f9cdd386e7f939269c93e5740af9542b9

First finding, verified directly against the commit (not just gh pr diff):

This is not a one-line diff. The PR title/body/commit message all say "One line ... that is the whole diff", but the commit 251ec65 actually touches two files:

docs/design/live-service.md | 704 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
gradle.properties           |   2 +-
2 files changed, 705 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

docs/design/live-service.md is a brand-new 704-line design doc (git show a65d066:docs/design/live-service.md → does not exist on the base commit) about "the live krapper service and the FIR client (#186, brick 3)" — completely unrelated to release prep. It reads like a stray file from a different task that got swept into this commit (e.g. git add -A in a dirty/shared worktree), not something intentionally part of chore(release): prepare 0.3.5.

This doesn't change the runtime/publish-safety analysis (it's a docs-only addition, doesn't touch any version literal), but it directly contradicts the PR's own "one line, that's the whole diff" claim, which is the basis the reviewer note asks me to accept the light-touch gate on. Continuing with the rest of the verification (whole-tree grep, runtime constant check, pins, apiCheck, release.yml) before rendering a verdict.

Checkpoint 2 — runtime constant + -p compiler build verified.

Reviewed (in progress): 251ec65f9cdd386e7f939269c93e5740af9542b9

Fresh worktree off the PR head (review-203-local, HEAD confirmed = 251ec65), own tree at /tmp/.../scratchpad/wt/pr203, not the shared main checkout.

Whole-tree grep for 0.3.4 (excluding .git): every hit is either one of the three deliberately-lagging consumed pins, or prose/comments:

  • settings.gradle.kts:17 — pin
  • samples/minimal/build.gradle.kts:29 — pin
  • samples/multiproject/bindings/build.gradle.kts:23 — pin
  • everything else (build.gradle.kts workaround comments, docs/getting-started.md, docs/design/*.md, samples/multiproject/README.md, compiler/build.gradle.kts, KPlusPlusCompilerGradlePlugin.kt comment, compiler/gradle/build.gradle.kts comment, .github/workflows/samples-minimal.yml comment) is prose referencing the version, not a declaration.

No per-module version = "..." line anywhere except root gradle.properties. No hand-written PLUGIN_VERSION literal — grep -rn PLUGIN_VERSION shows only the generator (compiler/gradle/build.gradle.kts:137, templated from $pluginVersion) and consumers of the generated constant. compiler/build.gradle.kts confirms the included build has no own gradle.properties; it parses the root file directly (../gradle.properties) and sets allprojects { version = kplusplusVersion } — genuinely one source.

-p compiler build (incl. apiCheck, verifyConsumedPluginPins): BUILD SUCCESSFUL, both tasks ran and passed, ran check+build on every subproject including apiCheck on the two published modules.

Runtime constant, verified by inspecting the built jar (not the build script), to close the exact hole 0.3.4 shipped with:

$ sha256sum compiler/gradle/build/libs/kplusplus-compiler-gradle-0.3.5.jar
91db1c10007642eb5f3ffdd6d9a6e8632162c116c5bb9372efe072bb95a73295

$ javap -p -constants PluginVersionKt.class
public final class com.monkopedia.kplusplus.compiler.gradle.PluginVersionKt {
  public static final java.lang.String PLUGIN_VERSION = "0.3.5";
}

$ strings KPlusPlusCompilerGradlePlugin.class | grep 'kplusplus/tools/'
kplusplus/tools/0.3.5/

No occurrence of 0.3.4 in any .class file in that jar. This is a direct disassembly of the jar Gradle just wrote in this worktree at this SHA — I never let Gradle resolve the plugin coordinate from any repository (module cache or ~/.m2), so the stale-module-cache trap that produced the false positive on #202 doesn't apply here: there was no dependency resolution step to go stale. The tool-extraction cache path (~/.gradle/kplusplus/tools/$PLUGIN_VERSION/) resolves under 0.3.5, matching the generated constant.

Still to check: docs/releasing.md accuracy, .github/workflows/release.yml publish wiring (shaded jar, single bundled tool), and I'll re-confirm the head SHA hasn't moved before recording a verdict. No merge yet.

Final verdict.

Reviewed: 251ec65f9cdd386e7f939269c93e5740af9542b9 (re-confirmed unchanged via gh pr view 203 --json headRefOid immediately before writing this — PR still OPEN, no other comments/reviews).

What verified clean

  • Whole-tree grep for 0.3.4: only the three deliberate consumed pins (settings.gradle.kts:17, samples/minimal/build.gradle.kts:29, samples/multiproject/bindings/build.gradle.kts:23) plus prose/comments. No stray version = "..." line, no hand-written PLUGIN_VERSION literal anywhere — confirmed the No guard against a partial version bump (version lives in 6 places) #192 single-source design holds (compiler/build.gradle.kts parses root gradle.properties directly, allprojects { version = kplusplusVersion }; compiler/gradle/build.gradle.kts:137 generates PLUGIN_VERSION from it).
  • Runtime constant, verified by disassembling the actually-built jar (compiler/gradle/build/libs/kplusplus-compiler-gradle-0.3.5.jar, sha256 91db1c10007642eb5f3ffdd6d9a6e8632162c116c5bb9372efe072bb95a73295, built fresh in my own worktree, never resolved through any repository/cache so the module-cache staleness trap that bit fix(build): generate PLUGIN_VERSION from the project version — one source of truth (#192) #202 doesn't apply here): PluginVersionKt.PLUGIN_VERSION = "0.3.5", and KPlusPlusCompilerGradlePlugin.class contains the literal string kplusplus/tools/0.3.5/ for the tool-extraction cache path. Zero 0.3.4 in any class file in that jar. compiler/gradle/build.gradle.kts:215-257 confirms this shadow jar (not the plain jar, which is SKIPPED) is what actually gets published — so I inspected the real shipping artifact.
  • The three pins: confirmed untouched, all still read 0.3.4, not present in the PR diff.
  • -p compiler build (fresh, this SHA): BUILD SUCCESSFUL, verifyConsumedPluginPins and apiCheck both ran and passed on both published modules.
  • release.yml / docs/releasing.md: no hardcoded version anywhere; single bundled tool via -Pkpp.bundleTools.krapper=<path> into the same shaded jar; Central Portal auto-release + Plugin Portal publish wiring matches the docs. docs/releasing.md step 1 accurately describes the one-line bump and the pin-lag mechanism.
  • Full native-suite gate claim (main @ a65d066, krapper 304/0 / featuregen 195/0 / cppfixture 2/0, 34/34 tasks) — plausible and I'm not re-running it per instructions, but I did confirm a65d066 is genuinely the immediate parent of this commit and this PR's own diff touches no production code path that suite would exercise.

Real problem: the PR's central claim is false

The title, PR body, and commit message all assert, repeatedly and specifically: "One line... that is the whole diff/change." It is not. Commit 251ec65 is:

docs/design/live-service.md | 704 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
gradle.properties           |   2 +-
2 files changed, 705 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

docs/design/live-service.md is a brand-new 704-line design doc ("The live krapper service and the FIR client (#186, brick 3)") that does not exist on the base commit (git show a65d066:docs/design/live-service.md → not found) and has nothing to do with release prep — it's WIP content about a completely different feature track, and its own header even cites a different baseline (main @ 34fb7a3) than this PR's actual base. This has every hallmark of an accidental git add -A / stray-file sweep from a concurrently-running task landing in the release commit (the exact "no concurrent shared worktree" failure mode that's bitten this project before).

It's not a release-safety defect — it's docs-only, doesn't touch any version literal, doesn't affect the build or the Central/Portal publish path, and every item in the "why a one-line diff still deserves a real review" checklist above comes back clean regardless. But a release-prep commit whose message and PR description make a specific, load-bearing, and false claim about its own contents ("that's the whole diff — verify it, don't assume it") is exactly the kind of thing this review process exists to catch, and it shouldn't go into main's history mislabeled. It's a two-minute fix: drop the stray file from this commit (and land it separately if it's wanted) or amend the message to actually describe what's in it.

Verdict: NOT MERGED — requesting a fix

Please push a corrected commit (either drop docs/design/live-service.md from this diff, or acknowledge it in the message) and I'll re-review. Everything version/publish-mechanics related is clean and I have no other concerns — this is the only blocker.

One line — `version` in the root `gradle.properties`. That is the whole change,
and it is the direct payoff of #192/#202: the five other version declarations
(three per-module `version = "..."` lines and the hand-written `PLUGIN_VERSION`
literal in plugin source) no longer exist. During 0.3.4 prep the same operation
touched six places, five were bumped, and the sixth was caught only by a
reviewer's grep.

The three consumed pins (root `settings.gradle.kts`, `samples/minimal`,
`samples/multiproject/bindings`) DELIBERATELY stay at 0.3.4. The repo self-hosts
one release behind, so they can only move once 0.3.5 exists on the Portal.
`verifyConsumedPluginPins` (also from #202) was run and accepts this as a legal
one-release lag.

## What 0.3.5 ships

* **#194 / #200 — the reason for this release.** 0.3.4 is BROKEN for
  multi-project consumers: the plugin picked up whatever kotlinx-coroutines the
  root buildscript classloader owned (1.8.0 via kotlin-compiler-runner) rather
  than the 1.11.0 it resolves, and ktor-io calls a method coroutines 1.9+ moved
  onto the interface -> `NoSuchMethodError: Job.invokeOnCompletion$default`. The
  plugin's ksrpc/ktor/coroutines runtime is now shaded and relocated under
  `com.monkopedia.kplusplus.compiler.shaded`, so it is immune to the buildscript
  classloader's contents. `samples/multiproject` is a new canary reproducing the
  exact topology that shipped broken.
* **#196 / #199** — drop-ledger diagnostics: structurally-expected drops (DEDUP,
  the operator== capability gate) demoted to INFO so the capped WARNING budget
  carries actionable entries. Totals still reported per-severity.
* **#195 / #197** — `samples/minimal:nativeTest` repaired (it had not compiled
  since the context-parameter migration) plus the repo's first PR-triggered CI.
* **#198 / #201** — that CI now asserts a non-zero test count from the JUnit XML
  and uploads it; previously it went green whether 3 tests ran or none.
* **#192 / #202** — this release's own prep, made a one-line operation.

## Verification

Full gate re-run on main @ `a65d066` immediately before the bump:

    krapper       304 / 0
    featuregen    195 / 0
    cppfixture      2 / 0
    noncopyableDeterminismCheck  green
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 4m 39s (34/34 tasks executed)

`-p compiler check` green at 0.3.5, including `apiCheck` and the new
`verifyConsumedPluginPins`.

## Follow-up, immediately after this publishes

The post-release migration is one change: bump the three consumed pins
0.3.4 -> 0.3.5 AND delete the root `build.gradle.kts` `apply false` workaround
(#193/#194), whose comment names exactly this condition. It cannot go earlier —
`release.yml` builds `:krapper` on main to cut the release, and until 0.3.5
exists the pin cannot move off the unshaded 0.3.4.

Re-review of the fix — verified, not taken on trust.

Reviewed: 105bcc90ab60bb5941c4e98024b1645321e5739d

Fresh worktree off this exact ref (review-203-v2, HEAD confirmed = 105bcc9).

  1. The diff is genuinely one line now. git show --stat 105bcc9gradle.properties | 2 +-, 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-). gh api .../pulls/203/files confirms the same: a single modified file. docs/design/live-service.md is gone from the tree entirely (not present in git ls-files at this SHA) — the commit's "one line, that's the whole change" claim is now true, verified directly rather than assumed.
  2. gradle.properties reads version=0.3.5, byte-identical in content to what I disassembled the jar from at the previous SHA. The three consumed pins (settings.gradle.kts:17, samples/minimal/build.gradle.kts:29, samples/multiproject/bindings/build.gradle.kts:23) all still read 0.3.4 and are absent from this diff — confirmed via git diff a65d066 105bcc9 and direct grep.
  3. -p compiler check at this SHA: BUILD SUCCESSFUL, 20/20 tasks. apiCheck ran and passed on both published modules. Re-ran verifyConsumedPluginPins explicitly (--rerun) to be sure: BUILD SUCCESSFUL.

Per the coordinator's note, I have not redone the jar disassembly — gradle.properties's content here is identical to what I already verified compiled to PLUGIN_VERSION = "0.3.5" and the kplusplus/tools/0.3.5/ extraction path at the prior SHA, and the only change since then was dropping the unrelated markdown file, which doesn't touch the version-generation path. Stating that explicitly rather than silently relying on it, per instructions.

All clear. Merging (tier-1: green ⇒ merge; release cut remains separate and is not mine).

* docs: the live krapper service + FIR client design (#186 brick 3)

Design only; no production change. Written against main @ 34fb7a3 after bricks 1
(#184) and 2 (#185) landed.

This was accidentally swept into the 0.3.5 release-prep commit by a `git add -A`
and caught in review of #203 — a release commit that claimed "one line" while
carrying 704 unrelated lines. Split out here, which is where it belonged.

The document's three load-bearing findings CORRECT the framing the issue was
opened with, so they are worth stating in the commit as well as the file:

1. **There is no live Clang AST today, anywhere.** `CppParser.parse` wraps the
   whole parse in `memScoped`, so the `ASTUnit` — and `ASTContext`/`Sema` with
   it — is destroyed when the parse returns; only the pure-Kotlin `WrappedTU`
   survives, and `clang_slice.h` binds zero Sema symbols. "A persistent Clang
   instance HAS Sema" is not something persistence unlocks; it is new capability
   work that persistence makes affordable. Probe-gated.
2. **A compiler cannot materialize a binding mid-compilation.** Generated
   bindings enter the build as a source dir plus a cinterop klib, both frozen
   before `compileKotlinNative`; a FIR-synthesized class would have no backing
   native symbol. The compiler can ASK and REQUEST; the unit of materialization
   is the next sync.
3. **Lazy binding cannot be the default.** `broad-forcing-resolve.md:216` already
   rated bounding the closure "disqualifying as the primary fix" because it
   changes bound output, and featuregen depends on INCLUDE_MISSING's
   transitivity.

So #10's two premises become ATTACKABLE, not dissolved — an honest downgrade from
what was claimed when the direction was set.

What the design proposes instead is a canonical binding index emitted by krapper
and consumed by the FIR plugin as a compilation-start snapshot, with persistence,
Sema and lazy binding as separate probe-gated bricks above it. §11 argues bricks
B1-B3 are ~80% of the realizable value with no persistence, no socket and no
Sema — and they fix a live defect: the FIR plugin re-derives krapper's
KotlinWriter name mangling by hand (`CppVectorMapping.kt:248-268`) with nothing
checking the two implementations against each other, so a generator change
silently degrades to a spurious SYNC_REQUIRED on a binding that exists.

§9 lists seven probes, each cheap and each allowed to come back negative and kill
its brick. §12 carries four open questions for the owner.

* docs: correct the §7 #194 framing and one bad citation (review of #204)

Both problems found in review; neither changes the document's conclusions.

**§7 was stale, and wrong in its recommendation.** It was drafted while #194 was
open and framed it as a live blocker needing a choice between two remedies,
recommending option 2 (isolated-classloader Gradle worker). But #194 was CLOSED
before this doc was committed — fixed via option 1 (shade/relocate, PR #200,
`0a5a705`) and shipped in v0.3.5 — and this branch's own base is two commits
after that fix. So the section recommended the option we did not take, against a
blocker that no longer existed.

Rewritten to record the outcome, and the outcome is better for #186 than what
§7 originally proposed: shading REMOVES the version conflict rather than
isolating the plugin from it, so a persistent connection holding that stack open
across builds is no more exposed than a per-task one. The superseded
recommendation is preserved in a collapsed block, because the reasoning that
turned out wrong is worth keeping — it optimised for giving the daemon handle a
stable home and treated the conflict as something to work around.

Propagated: the L2 layer note, B5's and B9's "blocked on #194" cells (B5 now
depends only on B4 + probe P3), risk R5 (narrowed to the real residual — ksrpc on
the *kotlinc* plugin classpath, where shading the Gradle plugin does not help),
probe P7 (mostly done: `samples/multiproject` landed with #200 and was verified
to fail against the real released 0.3.4), and open question §12.3 (struck — no
longer a question).

**One bad citation.** §1.1 cited `compiler/gradle/build.gradle.kts:76-84` for the
"both sides compile the same source" claim; that range does not support it at any
commit checked. The actual mechanism is `:144-147`, which adds
`../../krapper/src/commonMain/kotlin` and `../../krapper_model/src/commonMain/kotlin`
as `srcDir`s of the plugin's `main` source set, with the rationale comment at
`:104-107`.

**Minor line nits**, also from review: `Parsing.kt` 97/103/134 -> 98/104/135, and
`DropLedger.kt` 67 -> 78.

The six load-bearing citations the review prioritised all checked out exactly,
including both halves of the "no live Clang AST" finding (the `memScoped` wrapping
and zero bound Sema symbols) and the faithful reading of
`broad-forcing-resolve.md:210-224`.
