The build state is managed by the `BuildState` class.
An instance is created for each build in the build definition, once per build execution and is discarded at the end of the execution. 

The build state also includes what is currently called the "Gradle state". The Gradle state is being merged into the build state and is mostly empty.

### Project state

## Build state model

As Gradle executes, it acts on various pieces of the build definition, such as each project in the build.
Gradle tracks the state of each piece and transitions each piece through its lifecycle as the build runs.

A central part of the Gradle architecture is the "build state model", which holds the state for each piece and coordinates state transitions and other mutations. 

        if (parentCommits.size() != 2) {
            println("$commit is not a merge commit we're looking for. Parents: $parentCommits")
            return
        }

        // The correct state we are looking for is:
        // 1. It's a merge commit.
        // 2. One of its parent commits is from master only.
        // 3. Another parent commit is from master and release branch.
        // Otherwise, skip this commit.

## Status

[PROPOSED, ACCEPTED, REJECTED, DEPRECATED, REPLACED]

## Consequences

* X
* Y
* Z
```

## Status

ACCEPTED

## Consequences

* We start to use Architectural Decision Records
* We use the proposed template from this ADR

The platforms and modules are defined using a DSL in [settings.gradle.kts](../settings.gradle.kts)

## Decision

We do not introduce new public API methods that include Groovy types in their signatures.
Existing Groovy methods will not be removed immediately.

## Status

ACCEPTED

## Consequences

* If we would have used `Closure`, we must instead use `Action<T>`, `Spec<T>`, `Callable<T>`, or `Transformer<OUT, IN>`.

For internal purposes, we use binary formats for their brevity.
We use the `Serializer` abstraction to separate the actual implementation of serialization from its uses.

When sharing data with external tools, we use JSON.

## Status

ACCEPTED

## Consequences

* The configuration cache serialization infrastructure should be used for all serialization.
* Existing usages of Serializer outside of this infrastructure should be migrated to use it.
