No Gradle® Wrapper JAR

No Gradle Wrapper JAR is a source-only blueprint for projects that want to use the ordinary Gradle Wrapper launchers without tracking gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar in Git.

It is a Buildish tooling component for maintainers whose repository policy avoids committed compiled binaries. The trade-off is a network- and host-tool-dependent first run that creates an ignored executable local JAR; later runs trust that checkout-local state.

The minimal bootstrap is implemented in the unreleased development tree. No component release has been published. It is a three-source, project-local integration whose only cold-network guarantee is that a downloaded Wrapper JAR must match a committed SHA-256 before it is moved into the executable gradle-wrapper.jar path. Existing checkout-local state remains trusted.

No compiled Wrapper executable is tracked in Git. Source-release exclusion is still an objective, and release publication remains blocked until the real component archive path proves that exclusion.
