groovy.transform.builder.BuilderASTStubber

```
public class BuilderASTStubber
extends AbstractASTTransformation
```
Joint-compilation stubber for Builder, covering the two most common shapes:
- DefaultStrategy on a class-level annotation: emits the inner builder class with fluent setters and a build() method, plus a static Foo.builder() factory on the buildee.
- SimpleStrategy with a non-default prefix: emits chained Foo prefixName(T value) setters on the buildee itself. Skipped silently for the default prefix = "set" because the stubber's Foo setX(value) would clash with the void setX(value) that the stub generator's Verifier sub-pass also emits for properties — Java doesn't allow two methods with the same name and parameters but different return types.
Other strategies are out of scope for this spike pass:
- InitializerStrategy — typed-builder pattern with generic parameters; structurally larger than the spike's scope.
- ExternalStrategy — annotates an explicit builder class rather than the buildee; the stubber would fire on the explicit builder, with no impact on the buildee's stub.
Method/constructor targets, the forClass attribute, and includeSuperProperties are also out of scope. The stubber walks directly-declared properties only, mirroring the same Tier 1 limitation other property-walking stubbers carry.
