04/22/2025, 1:27 PMthe resolving makes sense... I hadn't thought about doing that... I explored the maven-metadata concept but it gets a bit ugly

04/22/2025, 2:01 PMThe timestamp is constructed by Gradle when publishing, but I don't think it is available in any way, especially not through public API.

04/22/2025, 2:05 PMThe timestamp is actually the "build started" time which can be returned via the right service injection. It's the build number that's hard. Gradle is doing a metadata fetch internally and then picking the next build number. I'd love to avoid a repeat of that remote call, but I think it's going to be necessary.
