Research direction

Reproduce the warning in a multi-module build using the shown spotless configuration with Gradle 8.12, then trace the predeclareDepsFromBuildscript() entry point and its handling of the root project's buildscript configuration. Done means the deprecation warning is removed and the configuration remains compatible with Gradle 9.0.
