Flutter finished migrating five major linting checks from batch analysis to real-time AST validation, meaning developers get instant IDE feedback instead of waiting for bot runs.

Ben Konyi closed out a three-PR migration that moves test validation [1], framework checks [2], and import rules [3] from `dev/bots/analyze.dart` into `dev/flutter_analyzer_plugin`, giving engineers diagnostics as they type instead of at CI time. The work includes new AST rules like `skip_test_comments`, `no_runtimetype_in_tostring`, and `no_bad_imports_in_flutter`, each backed by unit tests and enabled across all test option files. Meanwhile, Victoria Ashworth refactored SwiftPM symlink path logic [4] to handle edge cases where plugin basenames don't match their names, ensuring Xcode re-processes manifests when Flutter plugin versions change. On the Swift side, ktoso added cross-module distributed tests [5], Gabor Horvath introduced an experimental `@unsafe(always)` mode for C++ interop [6] that stops renaming unsafe functions, and tbkka implemented runtime support for casting noncopyable existentials [7]. Kotlin landed a batch of value class fixes: Alexey Belkov expanded inline class tests [8], fixed deserialization for private constructors [9], and added support for full value classes in stubs [10]. Across 3 repos, 94 commits and 66 PRs shipped.
