" summary

Lays out a concrete recipe: create a buildSrc binary plugin in Kotlin, register it in build.gradle.kts, and apply it across modules to replace duplicated build.gradle files for projects that can scale to more than a hundred modules. Plugin applies Android/Kotlin plugins, sets SDK and ProGuard defaults, enables Java 8 and core library desugaring, adds shared dependencies, and registers Jacoco per-variant report tasks via afterEvaluate with a configurable custom extension to toggle coverage and exclusions.
