MixinTale - Developer Tools

Breaking changes

• DeveloperTools redesigned to match the MixinTale 2.x architecture (v1 tools were experimental and incomplete).
• Tooling now assumes index-based patch discovery (mixintale.index.json) generated at compile time.

Removed

• Doctor tool removed: no longer needed with the new pipeline (patches are indexed at compile time and the runtime weaver no longer depends on runtime patch class visibility hacks).

Added

• Updated API module with the full annotation surface used by MixinTale 2.x:
  • @Patch, @Prefix, @Postfix, @Replace, @RedirectCall, @WrapCall, @Accessor
  • Parameter roles: @This, @Arg, @Result
  • Operation<R> for wrap-call “call original” support
• Updated annotation processor that generates mixintale.index.json inside the mod JAR.
• Stronger compile-time validation and clearer diagnostics for invalid patch declarations (missing descriptors, invalid internal names, etc. where applicable).

Changed

• Dependency/usage model: DeveloperTools are compile-time only (API + Processor). Runtime installation is done via the MixinTale EarlyPlugin, not via DeveloperTools.

Fixed

• Multiple v1 issues where patches were inconsistently discovered or metadata was incomplete, leading to unreliable runtime behavior.
