+ * NOT `sourceSets { ... srcDir(task) }`: AGP 9 rejects a Provider there outright,
+ * because it cannot tell whether the directory holds generated (read-only) or
+ * hand-written (read-write) files — a distinction the IDE needs. The Variant API
+ * is the supported route and, unlike a bare path, `addGeneratedSourceDirectory`
+ * carries the task dependency, so Kotlin cannot compile before the bindings
+ * exist and the APK cannot package a stale `.so`.
