API Documentation Completeness

Status​

Active.

Scope​

Bring the generated API reference for every published ViewCompose artifact to the quality contract defined by the Source Documentation and API Comment Standard. The work covers KDoc/Javadoc content, compiled samples, Dokka warnings, immutable source links, package/module overviews, and staged enforcement.

Non-goals​

  • changing public behavior while documenting it;
  • adding comments that merely restate names or signatures;
  • translating the generated symbol tree;
  • enabling a repository-wide warning gate before existing debt is repaired;
  • treating internal, demo, or test declarations as published API.

Current baseline​

  • Dokka 2.2 generates HTML for all 25 independently published artifacts.
  • normal documentation builds retain deprecated APIs and suppress generated files and obvious synthetic members;
  • public and protected declarations are included in the documentable surface;
  • auditViewComposeApiDocs exposes missing KDoc/Javadoc without blocking the build;
  • strict reportUndocumented + failOnWarning checking is available per selected module;
  • viewcompose-runtime has a reviewed Q2/Q3 baseline, compiled Q3 samples, a module manual, and an always-on strict Dokka warning gate;
  • viewcompose-ui-contract has a reviewed Q2/Q3 baseline covering node specifications, modifier phases, environment, interaction connectors, lazy/pager state, compiled samples, and an always-on strict Dokka warning gate;
  • comment language, depth, tags, and lifecycle/failure detail remain inconsistent across modules;
  • generated source links are not yet pinned to release tags.

The warning count is an inventory, not a quality score. A declaration with a comment can still fail Q2 or Q3 manual review.

Completion criteria​

  1. every published module has a reviewed Q-level baseline;
  2. all normal public and protected APIs meet Q2, with documented low-risk Q1 exceptions;
  3. high-risk APIs meet Q3 and link to compiled samples;
  4. KDoc/Javadoc symbol links resolve without warnings;
  5. generated source links target the matching release tag or immutable revision;
  6. strict Dokka checking blocks regression for every repaired module;
  7. module and package overviews lead readers from concepts to symbols;
  8. the complete versioned API catalog and documentation site build successfully.

Ordered work​

  1. Quality foundation — complete
    • define Q0–Q3 and the contract matrix;
    • include public and protected APIs;
    • add non-blocking audit and opt-in strict mode;
    • record the initial runtime baseline.
  2. Runtime foundation — complete
    • classify all runtime warnings and existing comments;
    • repair viewcompose-runtime to Q2/Q3;
    • add focused compiled samples;
    • enable strict checking for the module.
  3. Core UI chain — active
    • viewcompose-ui-contract baseline and strict gate are complete;
    • repair viewcompose-widget-core, viewcompose-renderer, and viewcompose-host-android in dependency order;
    • add module/package overviews and cross-links.
  4. Remaining families
    • text, navigation, lifecycle, ViewModel, overlay, animation, gesture, graphics, shadows, constraint layout, image loading, and preview tooling;
    • enable strict checking after each module baseline is clean.
  5. Immutable source and release integration
    • derive source-link revisions from the published version/tag contract;
    • verify current, stable latest, and immutable version routes;
    • activate the complete-catalog regression gate.

Validation​

  • ./gradlew auditViewComposeApiDocs -PviewComposeDocsModules=<artifact>
  • strict selected-module Dokka generation
  • compiled sample tasks for the owning module
  • ./gradlew verifyDocumentationStructure
  • ./gradlew assembleViewComposeApiDocs
  • Docusaurus type check and production build

Last verified​

2026-08-02: viewcompose-ui-contract was repaired from 1,036 initially undocumented declarations to a zero-warning strict baseline. All node specifications, modifiers, renderer-connected state, environment, input, graphics, and interaction contracts were reviewed; compiled Q3 samples and a bilingual module manual were added.

Next action​

Audit and repair viewcompose-widget-core, add its module manual and focused samples, then enable its module-level strict warning gate without changing API behavior.
