LocordaAnnotation class abstract interface

Marker interface for class-level Locorda annotations.

Classes implementing this interface are designed to be used as class-level annotations (e.g., @RootResource, @GroupKey).

This distinguishes them from:

• Parameter classes like FullIndex or MergeContract (passed as constructor arguments)
• Property-level annotations like @CrdtLwwRegister or @RdfProperty (applied to fields)

Usage

✅ Class-level annotations (implement this interface):

@RootResource(...)  // ← Annotation (implements LocordaAnnotation)
class Note { }

@GroupKey(...)      // ← Annotation (implements LocordaAnnotation)
class NoteGroupKey { }

❌ Parameter classes (do NOT implement this interface):

@RootResource(
  classIri,
  MergeContract(...),  // ← Parameter class
  fullIndex: FullIndex(...),  // ← Parameter class
)
class Note { }

❌ Property-level annotations (do NOT implement this interface):

@RootResource(...)
class Note {
  @CrdtLwwRegister()  // ← Property annotation (different scope)
  String? title;
}

This design makes the API boundaries explicit and enables tooling to programmatically distinguish between annotation types.
