Part 3/11 of the stacked split of #1669 (requested by Akash). Base: feature/ADFA-4128-qb-02-plumbing. Stack overview + review mechanics: PR 1 (#1713). Terms are defined in quickbuild/README.md (lands in PR 1).

Lets the IDE side and the compile daemon talk to each other, and keeps the two from drifting apart as the feature changes.

…the IDE and compile daemon share

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Kj9YeCDHGp9DU8LPtfWJ7W
Finding (Important, pr03-review.md): DaemonProtocolDtoTest's first test was
named "configure without optional toolchain paths means self-discovery" with a
comment calling null the "discover from ANDROID_HOME" signal — the opposite of
the contract in the same commit (DaemonProtocol.kt KDoc: "required, as the
daemon never guesses a tool path"; README: configure answers ok:false with one
diagnostic per missing field) and of the daemon's actual behavior at stack tip
(DaemonService.configure rejects null/blank aapt2/d8Jar/androidJar).

Fix: renamed the test and rewrote the comment so null reads as "not supplied,
and configure rejects it", per the documented contract. The assertions were
already correct (null IS the DTO default) and are unchanged; the rejection
behavior itself is asserted in the daemon module's DaemonServiceTest at stack
tip, so no rejection assertion is duplicated here.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough
  • Added the :quickbuild:protocol Java/Kotlin library for IDE-to-daemon communication.
  • Added wire formats for configuration, compilation, dexing, resource relinking, ping, shutdown, diagnostics, results, and build statistics.
  • Added protocol version and version-skew compatibility documentation.
  • Added OfflineGuard test fixture to detect banned network API references in production classes.
  • Added unit tests with reported 100% line and branch coverage for the protocol package.
  • Risk: IDE and daemon implementations must preserve the documented wire-format and protocolVersion compatibility rules.
  • Risk: OfflineGuard depends on class-file scanning and build-directory conventions, including the optional system-property override.

Walkthrough

The PR adds the quickbuild:protocol module. It defines daemon request and response models, statistics serialization, parse results, wire-format documentation, unit tests, and an offline class-file scanning fixture.

Changes

Quick Build protocol

Layer / File(s) Summary
Module setup and offline fixture
settings.gradle.kts, quickbuild/protocol/build.gradle.kts, quickbuild/protocol/src/testFixtures/...
The build includes the protocol module, Kotlin and Java 17 support, test fixtures, JUnit, JaCoCo reporting, and OfflineGuard class-file scanning.
Daemon request and response contracts
quickbuild/protocol/src/main/kotlin/.../DaemonProtocol.kt, quickbuild/protocol/README.md, quickbuild/protocol/src/test/kotlin/.../DaemonProtocolDtoTest.kt, quickbuild/protocol/src/test/kotlin/.../DaemonProtocolTest.kt
The protocol defines six request types, JSON field constants, diagnostics, responses, response factories, parse results, defaults, correlation IDs, and wire-format documentation.
Statistics serialization and compatibility
quickbuild/protocol/src/main/kotlin/.../DaemonProtocol.kt, quickbuild/protocol/src/test/kotlin/.../DaemonProtocolDtoTest.kt, quickbuild/protocol/src/test/kotlin/.../DaemonProtocolTest.kt
CompileStats and DexStats serialize and restore numeric values. Missing statistic fields default to zero when other fields exist, while fully absent statistics remain unmeasured.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21994

Failed protocol responses can currently omit an error diagnostic, leaving the IDE or daemon without a usable failure cause; this is a concrete correctness issue that should be fixed before merge. The conflicting documentation for array-valued results also warrants owner follow-up, while the fixture documentation gap is non-blocking.

Poem

A rabbit checks each JSON line,

and finds the fields in neat design.
Stats sleep as zero, absent stay clear,
Requests hop with IDs near.
The protocol burrow now is bright!

Document the public fixture contract.

productionClassFiles, scanForBannedReferences, and containsAscii are public functions with no KDoc. isProductionClassPath also has non-obvious variant filtering.

Add KDoc that defines the expected buildDir, included and excluded class layouts, byte-matching encoding, and violation result format.

As per coding guidelines: “Public classes, functions, and non-obvious logic get KDoc/Javadoc. Document the contract and the why.”

Also applies to: 74-99, 101-104

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the response-value type contract.

DaemonResponse.values is documented as JSON-scalar-only, and the README says op values are scalars. The README also defines classesChanged as an array. This conflict can make a peer serialize or parse classesChanged with the wrong type.

  • quickbuild/protocol/src/main/kotlin/org/appdevforall/cotg/quickbuild/protocol/DaemonProtocol.kt#L458-L470: describe flat values as scalar values plus the classesChanged string array.
  • quickbuild/protocol/README.md#L58-L72: use the same description and retain the array semantics for classesChanged.

As per coding guidelines: “Keep docs in step with code.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the failure-response error invariant.

failure(id, diagnostics) accepts an empty list or a warnings-only list. It then returns ok = false without an ERROR diagnostic. This violates the DaemonResponse contract and can report a failed operation without an error cause.

Normalize this input with a locationless ERROR diagnostic, or reject invalid diagnostics before constructing the response. Add a regression test for a warnings-only input.
