# Build state model

The Gradle daemon tracks state for various elements. These are arranged in a hierarchy:

```mermaid
  graph TD

  process["build process"]
  
  session["build session"]
  process --> session
  
  build_tree["build tree"]
  session --> build_tree
  
  build1["root build"]
  build_tree --> build1
  
  project1["root project"]
  build1 --> project1
  
  project2["project"]
  build1 --> project2

Each process, or "runtime", applies different constraints to the code that runs in that process.
For example, each process has different supported JVMs and a different set of services available for dependency injection.
While a lot of Gradle source code runs only in the Gradle daemon, not all of it does and so, when working on some source code it is important to be aware of the runtimes in which it will run.

```

Here are the steps to resolve the issue:

1. Open the failure report mentioned in the output.\
If you don't see the report link in the output in the IDE, make sure to select the top-level node in the structured output panel.
The report will explain the errors in detail.
Perhaps, you forgot to add an `@Incubating` annotation or `@since` in the javadoc.

2. Accept the changes.\

## Structure

Each platform and module has its own source directory under [platforms/](../platforms).
In these source directories, you will find the Gradle projects that make up the platform or module.

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

        daemon --> worker2

        worker3["Worker process"]
        daemon --> worker3
    
```

These are all Java processes. Each process has a corresponding "runtime".
All source code in Gradle is written to target one or more of these runtimes.
Most source code targets the daemon and the remaining code either targets a single runtime, for example the Gradle client, or is shared across multiple runtimes.
