### Build tree state

"Build tree" is another name for the build definition.
The "build tree state" holds the state for the entire build definition for a single build execution within a session.

The build tree state is managed by the `BuildTreeState` class.

See [Gradle runtimes](runtimes.md) for a list of these runtimes and more details.

## 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.

# Gradle platform architecture

Gradle is arranged into coarse-grained components called "architecture modules" and "platforms".
See [ADR4](standards/0004-use-a-platform-architecture.md) for a definition of these terms.

The diagram below shows the current set of architecture modules and platforms:
