Fix Gradle 9 compatibility: archivesBaseName and sourceCompatibility

[Copilot]

Gradle 9 removed archivesBaseName, sourceCompatibility, and targetCompatibility as top-level project properties, causing build evaluation to fail immediately.

Changes

• archivesBaseName → moved into base {} block using the replacement property archivesName; updated the jar task reference from project.archivesBaseName → project.base.archivesName
• sourceCompatibility / targetCompatibility → moved from top-level into the java {} block

// Before
archivesBaseName = project.archives_base_name
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21

java { withSourcesJar() }

jar {
    from("LICENSE") {
        rename { "${it}_${project.archivesBaseName}" }
    }
}

// After
base {
    archivesName = project.archives_base_name
}

java {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
    withSourcesJar()
}

jar {
    from("LICENSE") {
        rename { "${it}_${project.base.archivesName}" }
    }
}

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Gradle build configuration to be compatible with Gradle 9 (moving removed top-level properties into the appropriate base {} / java {} blocks), and also introduces a large set of new DashLoader mod sources/resources and CI metadata.

Changes:

• Update Gradle build script to use base.archivesName and java { sourceCompatibility/targetCompatibility } for Gradle 9 compatibility.
• Add Fabric mod metadata/resources (fabric.mod.json, mixin config, access widener, translations, icon) and extensive new Java implementation for caching/serialization/mixins.
• Add Gradle wrapper/config files and GitHub Actions build workflow.

ThreadHandler.acquire swallows InterruptedException by wrapping it in a RuntimeException without restoring the thread interrupt flag. This can break cooperative cancellation and cause subtle issues in callers. Consider calling Thread.currentThread().interrupt() when catching InterruptedException, and wrapping ExecutionException separately to preserve the interruption semantics.

[Copilot]

TranslationHelper.loadLang doesn't clear existing entries before loading a new language, so keys from the previous language can persist when the next JSON lacks them. Also, the InputStream returned by getResourceAsStream is never closed. Clear translations before loading and use try-with-resources for the stream(s).

[Copilot]

In ObjectDumper.Style.appendDetail, the case ArrayList<?> list -> appendDetail(buffer, fieldName, list); branch calls the same overload again, leading to infinite recursion for ArrayList values. This should delegate to super.appendDetail(...) or implement a dedicated list/collection formatter instead of recursing back into appendDetail(Object).

[Copilot]

Option.UNSAFE_MIPMAP_GENERATION uses the substring "misc.MipmapGenerator", but the added mixin class is ...mixin.option.misc.MipmapHelperMixin. With the current value, ConfigHandler.shouldApplyMixin will never match this mixin, so the option can't actually enable/disable it. Update mixinContains to match the real mixin class/package substring.

[Copilot]

AffineTransformationMixin.equals is effectively broken: o instanceof AffineTransformationMixin will never be true at runtime because the target class is Transformation, and super.equals(o) will always be false unless this == o (already handled). As written, two equal Transformation instances will never compare equal. Compare against the target type and implement equality based on the shadowed fields (and ensure hashCode is consistent).

[Copilot]

RegistryReaderImpl.export creates a StepTask sized to the number of stages, but never advances it (task.next()), so progress reporting will stay at 0%. Increment the task once per exported stage (and optionally finish it) inside the loop.

[Copilot]

The map sorting comparator uses o1.getKey().toString().compareTo(o2.toString()), which compares the first key to the entire entry string of the second element. This produces unstable/incorrect ordering and can throw if toString() formats differ. Compare key-to-key (o2.getKey().toString()) instead.

[Copilot]

IOHelper.streamToArray overrides ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray() to return the internal buffer (buf) without trimming to count. This returns extra unused bytes and can corrupt consumers (e.g., font parsing). Return a correctly-sized array (e.g., Arrays.copyOf(buf, count)) or just use the standard toByteArray() implementation.

[Copilot]

Fragment sizing uses integer division: minFragments = (int) (piece.size / MAX_FRAGMENT_SIZE). This floors the value, so a total size slightly above MAX_FRAGMENT_SIZE can still produce minFragments == 1, allowing a fragment larger than the configured max and causing (int) fragment.info.fileSize to overflow or allocate an oversized direct buffer. Use a ceiling division for minFragments (and consider guarding the cast with Math.toIntExact).

[Copilot]

Swedish translation string issues: "konfigurations filen" should be a single word ("konfigurationsfilen"), and "modeler" should be "modeller". Fixing these improves in-game localization quality.
