# Implementation Review

## Authored guidance inventory

The pre-edit audit grouped missing or legacy links by authored reference and documentation area:

- `using-gradle`: build orientation (layout, settings, build files, plugins), build environment (properties, JVM ownership, proxies, init scripts), execution (CLI, tasks, outcomes), testing, troubleshooting (configuration cache, daemon, compatibility, wrapper, scans), dependencies (repositories, graph inspection, conflicts, caching), and research (documentation lookup and plugin research).
- `authoring-gradle-builds`: advanced configuration (services, value sources, configuration cache), publishing, lifecycle, scans, CI, configurations and variants, continuous builds, convention plugins, custom tasks, dependencies and catalogs, locking, Java builds, toolchains, Kotlin compiler options, Kotlin DSL, managed providers, modules and settings, plugin development, test configuration, upgrades and release notes, and Worker API.
- Multi-area topics retain one canonical call per distinct documentation area. Trailing `More info` blocks aggregate the same relevant pages and are permitted indexes rather than same-spot duplication.
- Local cross-references and non-documentation URLs, including Kotlin and Central Portal resources, remain unchanged.

## Runtime-skill review

- `interacting-with-project-runtime`: no link warranted. Its authored guidance describes the MCP-managed Kotlin REPL process, session lifecycle, and runtime probing behavior; no genuinely relevant Gradle documentation topic governs those operations.
- `verifying-compose-ui`: no link warranted. Its authored guidance describes MCP REPL image rendering and Compose runtime constraints; relevant authority is Compose or MCP behavior, not a Gradle documentation topic.

## Generator and frozen-corpus confirmation

- `GenerateBestPracticesDoc.normalizeInternalLinks` converts Gradle documentation targets to per-topic `gradle_docs(path="<clean .md path>")` calls and removes blocked `docs.gradle.org` and `gradle-mcp.rnett.dev` links.
- `GenerateBestPracticesDoc.writePages` appends the existing best-practices footer. The generator was inspected only and was not changed or run.
- The frozen `authoring-gradle-builds/references/best-practices/` corpus has no diff and was neither regenerated nor hand-edited.
- The known malformed generated javadoc member-fragment remains a disclosed grandfathered frozen exception outside the authored-content and future-output clean-link requirement. It is recorded for reviewer awareness and intentionally not fixed, regenerated, or hand-edited.

## Human-review checklist

- Authored known-page hints use clean backticked `gradle_docs(path="<clean .md path>")` calls with no fragments, queries, or versions.
- Stored searches use backticked `gradle_docs(query="tag:<tag> <term>")` calls. Path reads and no-argument browsing take no tag, while runtime broadening may drop the tag.
- `research.md` records explicit version, wrapper auto-detection through `projectRoot` or `GRADLE_MCP_PROJECT_ROOT`, and latest-stable fallback, including wrapper-detection failure conditions.
- No blocked documentation URL occurs in either hub. No runtime link was manufactured. The frozen corpus is unchanged.
- Liveness checking remains optional future work and is not treated as a build gate.

## Verification results

- `:test`: passed, with 428 tests discovered, 427 passed, 1 skipped, and 0 failed.
- `:verifySkillsList`: passed; `docs/skills.md` is in sync with the skill inventory.
- `openspec validate standardize-skill-gradle-docs-links --strict`: passed.
- `:check`: run twice. Both runs reached `integrationTest` and failed only because `AndroidComposeReplIntegrationTest.Android Compose REPL()` exceeded the MCP request's 60-second timeout; 89 other integration tests passed. The same Android Compose test passed when rerun alone with `:integrationTest --tests dev.rnett.gradle.mcp.repl.AndroidComposeReplIntegrationTest --rerun`, confirming a full-suite timing failure rather than a documentation regression.
