Problem

The Build embedded code check of SpineEventEngine/validation, which is required on its master, has been failing since September 9. It also blocks the dependency-refresh PR SpineEventEngine/validation#332.

The check runs ./gradlew :docs:buildAll in validation. That task rewrites the plugin versions in this repository's build files to match the main Validation build, io.spine.validation 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.465 and io.spine.core-jvm 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.097, then builds the examples. Those plugins generate Protobuf gencode 4.36.0. first-model-with-framework forced the runtime down to 4.35.0, so all 12 of its tests failed with:

ProtobufRuntimeVersionException: Detected incompatible Protobuf Gencode/Runtime versions when loading BankCard: gencode 4.36.0, runtime 4.35.0. Runtime version cannot be older than the linked gencode version.

Change

first-model-with-framework/build.gradle.kts forces the Protobuf runtime to 4.36.2, the Protobuf.version of the main Validation build. A runtime may be newer than the gencode it loads, so the plugin versions committed here (.462/.080), which generate older gencode, keep working. The comment above the force now explains both cases.

The plugin versions here are unchanged on purpose: the Validation docs build rewrites them, and .465 is not published until validation#332 merges.

Verification

• In validation, ./gradlew :docs:buildExamples with the rewritten plugin versions: first-model 12/12 and first-model-with-framework 12/12 tests pass. Before the change, first-model-with-framework failed 12/12.
• Here, ./gradlew buildAll with the committed plugin versions: both projects 12/12.
• The docs page that embeds this file takes only its plugins block, which is unchanged.

After this merges, validation#332 bumps its docs/_examples submodule to the merge commit.
