" summary

Gradle Kotlin DSL exists in the wild but is still small: build.gradle: 5.5M vs build.gradle.kts: ~8k and migration needs care — Gradle’s Kotlin DSL 1.0 is tied to specific Gradle RCs so plugin incompatibilities block updates. Practical fixes used here: regex-driven file conversions, moving shared logic into buildSrc for IDE completion and static checks, consulting Gradle sources for hidden APIs, and replacing bash/python scripts with kscript (supports deps, REPL, and can package self-contained jars).
