Bazel: what aspects can tell us about your project?

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

IntelliJ IDEA plugin that opens Bazel workspaces uses dynamic aspects loading to avoid aspect failures when provider APIs or rules are missing, detecting available rules with rule detection via bazel query (and soon bazel model graph) and generating per-rule aspect extensions (stored under .bazel/psp/aspects) so Kotlin/Java/Scala and third‑party rules load only when present; implements provider access using the new load/square‑bracket API and ships as a beta experimental plugin.
