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.

        }

        val to = dependency.resolvedVariant

        when (val fromComponent = dependency.from.id) {
            is ProjectComponentIdentifier -> if (fromComponent != rootComponent.id) {
                // Only track accessible dependencies from _transitive_ local dependencies
                // We should not include the root variant's dependencies in the locally accessible set
                locallyAccessible.add(to.owner)
            }

# 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

* Review in Google Docs is not as simple as a PR code review in GitHub

## Decision

The *Build Tool Team* has decided to use Architectural Decision Records (aka ADR) to track decisions we want to follow.

The main logic with ADRs is to describe (architectural) decisions made:

* To provide best practices and solutions we (as the *build tool* team) want to promote.
