Why are you trying to resolve this behaviour in gradle? Shouldn't it be the worker itself that switches implementation based on the resource inputs?

The worker could for example use a detached configuration to get the runtime classpath it needs if the build script does not need to control those dependencies.

Even if you would do it in `withDependencies` which is executed right before dependency resolution for example to add last-minute dependencies based on other dependencies or whatever, or if you would use `addLater`, latest when you enable configuration cache it would probably still be done "at configuration time" I guess. But you could also try that.

Btw. is there a reason you do `workerResources.incoming.artifacts.artifactFiles`?
For the `inputs.files` call you should be able to just give the configuration, and same for the `asPath` and `classpath` calls.

And just if you are not aware, `serviceOf` is internal API, not public API. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah, probably it should be done in the worker (Dokka), but I'm not sure if it's possible (I've skipped over some details that might interfere), and also I would like to fix it for previous versions.
