SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Stabilize Kotlin + Spring Gradle builds by applying minimal, safe changes that restore compatibility when build scripts or toolchains fail, or when the Spring BOM alignment drifts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnose Kotlin DSL, Gradle, and BOM-related failures in Kotlin-based Gradle projects.
  • Apply targeted, incremental patches to build.gradle.kts or settings.gradle.kts with minimal disruption.
  • Provide safe guidance to restore plugin compatibility, toolchain alignment, and runtime/test classpath stability.

Quick Start

Analyze a failing Kotlin Gradle project and propose a smallest, verifiable fix that restores a successful build.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix a failing Kotlin Gradle build with Spring Boot BOM drift?▼

Fix a failing Kotlin Gradle build by applying minimal, targeted patches to build.gradle.kts or settings.gradle.kts that restore plugin compatibility, toolchain alignment, and Spring Boot BOM stability.

What causes Kotlin DSL build script failures in Gradle projects?▼

Kotlin DSL build script failures are caused by plugin incompatibilities, toolchain misalignment, or drift from the Spring Boot BOM, requiring targeted incremental patches to restore build stability.

Can I repair settings.gradle.kts plugin incompatibilities without breaking my project?▼

Yes, you can repair settings.gradle.kts incompatibilities safely by enforcing Kotlin DSL checks and applying incremental changes that ensure Gradle compatibility with minimal disruption to runtime and test classpaths.

What is the best way to align Gradle toolchain versions for Kotlin Spring projects?▼

The best way to align Gradle toolchain versions for Kotlin Spring projects is to diagnose toolchain incompatibilities and apply safe incremental patches that enforce Gradle compatibility and restore classpath stability.

Why does my Kotlin Gradle build fail after updating Spring Boot dependencies?▼

Your Kotlin Gradle build fails after updating Spring Boot dependencies due to BOM alignment drift, which requires targeted incremental patches to build.gradle.kts to restore compatibility and successful compilation.
