Find Java annotation arguments

Recipe IDio.moderne.prethink.FindJavaAnnotationArguments

Artifactio.moderne.recipe:rewrite-prethink

Report every explicit Java annotation member expression and attributed source static-final String field. Resolves only String literals/text blocks, parentheses, String+String, typed source field references within the same known project and source-set marker identities/name, and fully resolved String arrays. Preserves exact source spans and auditable typed dependencies without changing sources. Does not evaluate SpEL, full JLS constant expressions, annotation defaults, or runtime permissions.

Column	Description
Source path	Original Java source path.
Source set	Actual JavaSourceSet name, or null; never inferred from the source path.
Project ID	Actual JavaProject marker UUID string, or null. Original-model-local identity; never inferred from a name, publication, or source path.
Project name	Actual JavaProject marker projectName, or null. Descriptive evidence only; never a lookup fallback.
Source set ID	Actual JavaSourceSet marker UUID string, or null. Symbol lookup requires this identity, project ID, and a nonempty source-set name in the same original repository/model run.
Annotation type	Exact attributed annotation FQN, or null. No simple-name fallback.
Attribute name	Explicit member name, or value for shorthand syntax.
Argument index	Zero-based lexical index among explicit annotation member arguments; arrays remain one argument.
Annotation start line	One-based source line at the annotation @ token, for joining original declaration evidence.
Annotation start column	One-based UTF-16 source column at the annotation @ token.
Start line	One-based original source line at the expression start.
Start column	One-based UTF-16 source column; tabs count as one character.
End line	One-based original source line at the exclusive expression end.
End column	One-based UTF-16 source column at the exclusive end.
Expression source	Exact original member expression slice, excluding leading prefix whitespace/comments and excluding named member assignment syntax.
Expression type	Attributed expression type string, or null when attribution is unavailable.
Resolution state	RESOLVED, UNRESOLVED, or UNSUPPORTED. Source evidence only; never runtime policy.
Resolution reason	Stable reason code explaining the bounded expression evaluation result.
Resolved value	JSON String or String array only when fully resolved; SQL null otherwise. Empty String and array are preserved.
Constant references	JSON array of typed dependency attempts and transitive declaration evidence, including source identity and raw initializer. No invented external provenance.

Java String constants

io.moderne.prethink.table.JavaStringConstants

Attributed source-declared static final String fields, including implicit interface constants. No local, nonfinal, nonString, external, or inferred constants.

Column	Description
Source path	Original Java source path.
Source set	Actual JavaSourceSet name, or null; never inferred from the source path.
Project ID	Actual JavaProject marker UUID string, or null. Original-model-local identity; never inferred from a name, publication, or source path.
Project name	Actual JavaProject marker projectName, or null. Descriptive evidence only; never a lookup fallback.
Source set ID	Actual JavaSourceSet marker UUID string, or null. Symbol lookup requires this identity, project ID, and a nonempty source-set name in the same original repository/model run.
Declaring type	Exact attributed field owner FQN, including nested owner identity.
Field name	Exact attributed field name; lookup requires typed owner and known project/source-set marker identities and source-set name.
Start line	One-based original source line at the named variable declaration start.
Start column	One-based UTF-16 source column; tabs count as one character.
End line	One-based original source line at the exclusive named variable declaration end.
End column	One-based UTF-16 source column at the exclusive end.
Initializer source	Exact original initializer expression slice, or null if no source initializer exists.
Resolution state	RESOLVED, UNRESOLVED, or UNSUPPORTED. Source evidence only; never runtime policy.
Resolution reason	Stable reason code explaining the bounded expression evaluation result.
Resolved value	JSON String only when fully resolved; SQL null otherwise. Empty String is preserved.
Constant references	JSON array of typed dependency attempts and transitive declaration evidence, including source identity and raw initializer. No invented external provenance.
