## AI overview

A practical checklist for Kotlin K2 migrations in projects that generate or validate dependency wiring. It recommends mapping the compiler and build toolchain, upgrading from a known compatibility matrix, cleaning and inspecting generated output, verifying dependency graphs across flavors and targets, testing runtime slices, and keeping rollback changes coherent.

## Source excerpt

A K2 migration is usually planned around source compatibility and compiler diagnostics. Projects that generate or validate dependency wiring need another checklist: compiler plugin versions, generated sources, metadata compatibility, and graph verification on every target. Map the toolchain first Record the Kotlin plugin, Compose compiler plugin, KSP or annotation tooling, dependency-injection compiler plugin, Android Gradle plugin, and target libraries. Upgrade from a known matrix instead of selecting each latest version independently.
