The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Classport embeds dependency information into Java class files, enabling the retrieval of dependency information at runtime.

C2weakest assumption

Embedding additional metadata into standard Java class files will not break compatibility with existing JVMs, build tools, or performance expectations in real deployments.

C3one line summary

Classport adds dependency information to Java class files to enable runtime introspection of used dependencies, shown feasible on six real-world projects.
