Step 1: Establish scope and version

1. DEFINE install | formatter change | target change | ratchet adoption | CI enforcement | upgrade | failure diagnosis.
2. IDENTIFY Gradle or Maven, wrapper version, build JVM, modules, languages, generated/vendor directories, existing formatter files, CI command, and baseline state.
3. READ the current Gradle guide or Maven guide plus its changelog before changing versions. Gradle and Maven plugin versions are independent.
4. PRESERVE existing formatter engines, formatter versions, target boundaries, step order, line-ending policy, and shared convention plugin unless the request changes them.
5. SELECT an older supported plugin line only when the build runtime cannot meet current requirements; record the compatibility reason.

Completion: exact integration, versions, modules, formats, targets, steps, and requested behavior are known.

Step 2: Inspect configuration

RUN from the repository root:

python3 scripts/inspect-project.py --root . --json
