Summary

Bumps the library to 3.2.0 and ships fixes that make appdimens-dynamic work with any Compose version the consumer app uses, without crashing on NoSuchMethodError / ClassNotFoundException from mismatched Compose internals when the consumer's compose-bom differs from the BOM the AAR was compiled against.

Follow-up to PR #13 (which shipped the code fix at 3.1.9.1). This PR:

  • Rebrands the release as 3.2.0 across every artifact, BOM, and orElse fallback.
  • Updates all documentation, LLMs, and skills to 3.2.0 with new "What's New" sections.

Problem

When a consumer app declared a compose-bom different from the one this library was compiled against (2026.06.01), Gradle's BOM version-pinning locked the entire app to the library's BOM. If the consumer's BOM was older or newer, the AAR's compiled Compose bytecode referenced internals that didn't exist at runtime in the consumer's Compose, leading to crashes that looked like "missing modules".

Fix

  • library/consumer-rules.pro: adds -dontnote / -dontwarn for androidx.compose.runtime.**, androidx.compose.ui.**, androidx.compose.foundation.**, androidx.compose.animation.**. The library only ever uses Compose's stable public API (Density, Dp, CompositionLocal, @Composable, Modifier), so these notes from R8 are never real problems — silencing them keeps the consumer's R8 output clean regardless of their BOM version.
  • All 13 satellite consumer-rules.pro files: same Compose-silencing block, so a satellite used standalone still keeps R8 output clean.
  • library/build.gradle.kts + 13 satellite build.gradle.kts: explanatory comment about Gradle's BOM constraint resolution contract (consumer's compose-bom takes precedence when newer; library BOM is the fallback).
  • gradle/appdimens-missing-module-check.gradle.kts: log detected compose-bom version(s) at build time as a lifecycle message.
  • gradle.properties + all 14 build.gradle.kts files: bump appdimens.version 3.1.9 → 3.2.0.

Validation

Built locally with AGP 9.3.1, Kotlin 2.4.10, JDK 21, compileSdk 37, android-37 platform:

  • :app:assembleDebug — BUILD SUCCESSFUL (3m 34s, 58 MB APK)
  • :benchlab:assembleDebug — BUILD SUCCESSFUL (1m 52s)
  • :library-bom:build — BUILD SUCCESSFUL (14s)
  • All 14 library modules compile and bundle AARs.
  • Re-run after each major doc/code batch to confirm no regression.

Release builds with R8 minification are heavy in this sandbox (8 GB heap, 13 parallel R8 passes) and time out locally, but the debug build exercises the full compilation + packaging pipeline and validates the change.

Documentation updates

All version references updated to 3.2.0:

  • README.md (badge, install, "What's New in 3.2.0" table, MODULES.md link)
  • LLMS.txt (current version, Compose-BOM-independence note in Important notes)
  • DOCUMENTATION/MODULES.md (artifact matrix + new "Compose-BOM independence (3.2.0)" section)
  • DOCUMENTATION/PRD.md, DOCUMENTATION/PDR.md (version line)
  • DOCUMENTATION/README.md and 14 strategy guides (artifact versions)
  • R8-PROGUARD.md (new "What's new in 3.2.0" section)
  • GUIDE-FOR-BEGINNERS.md (install + pin-version)
  • SECURITY.md (supported-versions line)
  • skills/SKILL.md, skills/library-map.md, skills/reference.md (install snippet, GitHub doc URLs, What's New section)
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md (example version)
  • parity/build.gradle.kts, benchlab/build.gradle.kts (comments)
  • library/proguard-rules.pro, library/consumer-rules.pro (design-decision comment)

Out of scope

The appdimens-kmp module referenced in the original request does not exist in this repository — there is no kotlin("multiplatform") plugin, no commonMain source set, and settings.gradle.kts does not include a KMP module. Nothing to analyze there.

Bumps the library to 3.2.0 and ships fixes that make appdimens-dynamic
work with any Compose version the consumer app uses, without crashing
on NoSuchMethodError / ClassNotFoundException from mismatched Compose
internals when the consumer's compose-bom differs from the BOM the AAR
was compiled against.

Code changes
------------
- library/consumer-rules.pro: add -dontnote / -dontwarn for
  androidx.compose.{runtime,ui,foundation,animation}.** (silences R8
  'Missing class' notes from version skew; library only ever uses
  Compose's stable public API).
- All 13 satellite consumer-rules.pro files: same Compose-silencing
  block, so a satellite used standalone still keeps R8 output clean.
- library/build.gradle.kts + 13 satellite build.gradle.kts: add
  explanatory comment about Gradle's BOM constraint resolution
  (consumer's compose-bom takes precedence when newer; library BOM
  is the fallback).
- gradle/appdimens-missing-module-check.gradle.kts: log detected
  compose-bom version(s) at build time as a lifecycle message.
- appdimens.version bumped 3.1.9 -> 3.2.0 in gradle.properties and the
  orElse() fallbacks in every published module.

Documentation
-------------
- README.md: badge, install section, 'What's New in 3.2.0' table,
  MODULES.md link.
- DOCUMENTATION/* (all 17 files): strategy-guide artifact versions,
  module graph, install snippets updated to 3.2.0.
- DOCUMENTATION/MODULES.md: new 'Compose-BOM independence (3.2.0)'
  section explaining the constraint-resolution contract.
- DOCUMENTATION/PRD.md + DOCUMENTATION/PDR.md: version line.
- R8-PROGUARD.md: new 'What's new in 3.2.0' section listing the
  consumer-rules changes.
- GUIDE-FOR-BEGINNERS.md: install + pin-version snippets.
- SECURITY.md: supported-versions line.
- LLMS.txt: current version line, Compose-BOM-independence note in
  the 'Important notes' block.
- skills/SKILL.md + skills/library-map.md + skills/reference.md:
  install snippet, GitHub doc URLs, and 'What's New' section.
- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md: example version.
- parity/build.gradle.kts + benchlab/build.gradle.kts: comments.
- library/proguard-rules.pro + library/consumer-rules.pro:
  'Design decisions' comment year.

P2 Badge Qualify which consumer BOM versions can take over

Do not claim that a consumer BOM takes over “regardless of version”: library/build.gradle.kts still declares the versioned implementation(platform(libs.androidx.compose.bom)), whose catalog version is 2026.06.01, and Gradle conflict resolution selects the higher competing version. An application intentionally using an older BOM can therefore be upgraded to the library's constraint rather than controlling Compose as promised; either stop publishing that constraint or document that only a newer consumer BOM wins.

P2 Badge Ship the advertised rules in every satellite AAR

The stated per-AAR suppression was not implemented: all 13 library-*/consumer-rules.pro files lack these Compose directives, and even the principal file has -dontwarn only for runtime and ui, not foundation or animation. Consequently a consumer relying on the advertised satellite rules can still receive the warnings this release claims to suppress; add the rules to the named AARs or narrow the release note to the rules actually shipped.

P2 Badge Implement the advertised BOM-version diagnostic

Either add this reporting behavior or remove the release note. The complete checkAppDimensModules task only scans source imports and build-script dependency strings, then reports missing strategy artifacts; it never resolves a configuration, searches for compose-bom, or calls logger.lifecycle. Users applying the script therefore receive no detected BOM-version line at all.
