This capability could help increase Gradle adoption outside of the JVM ecosystem.

Gradle can be invoked in different ways:
* Through the [Gradle Wrapper](https://docs.gradle.org/8.8/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html)
  * It currently requires a JVM and will download the Gradle distribution if it is not already present.
* A Gradle version installed on the system

        // Avoid overlapping outputs by copying exactly what we want from other intermediate tasks

            task.setGroup("documentation");
            task.setDescription("Stages rendered user manual documentation.");

            task.from(userguideSinglePageHtml);

            "resolveAllDependencies",
        ) -> true

        task.name.endsWith("Wrapper") -> true
        task.name in listOf("docs", "stageDocs", "serveDocs") -> true
        task.name.startsWith("userguide") -> true
        task.name == "samplesMultiPage" -> true

The best way to verify artifacts is [automatically with Gradle][gradle_verification].
