I recently received some feedback on a Python user group in Warsaw that a solution (matrices or an automated one) of Python SDK showing the current state of runners would be very helpful too. Perhaps we should keep this in mind. Maybe there is a way to have a generic solution for all SDKs that is automated?

Yes maybe there is a generic solution but I must admit that I don't know python part of the code, that is why my doc is very java centric. But I guess a python dedicated plugin is definitely very interesting and doable as easily as java I think.

Is Gradle plugin worth considering here? The benefit would be that it is an IDE agnostic solution. This also feels easier to implement.

Well, if we need to trigger the build to have this validation, I think people will run it too close to the pipeline running time and thus too late IMHO. We kind of lose the automatic flavor of the IDE plugin

Yes, I suppose you're right - this is important. In Gradle, the best way I can think of is to create a task that would have a loop performing periodic checks and showing errors in a console window until killed. It would still require starting the task though (may still be worth it).

The compatibility matrices have a big advantage of showing users which features are not supported even before they start coding. However, matrices might be wrong, not up to date, needed to be maintained, etc.
Would it be possible to show the features supported by a runner "in advance", before dev starts coding, based on the runner's codebase, not documentation?
