+# Upstream PR dependencies
+
+This fork collects fixes for contribution to
+[swiftlang/swift-java](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-java). This graph tracks
+the prerequisites for submitting and merging those fixes **upstream**. It does
+not describe PR bases, merge order, or merge status in `qoncept/swift-java`.
+
+Snapshot: 2026-10-23. Upstream `main` is
+[`301e3da`](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-java/commit/301e3da710ede7af93e798f1ce1c7950715a5748).
+Only fixes not yet merged upstream are included. Fixes are tracked primarily by
+their **origin PRs in `qoncept/swift-java`**. Corresponding upstream PR numbers
+and statuses are labeled separately.
+
+## Dependency graph
+
+An arrow points from a **prerequisite** to the **fix that requires it**. Fixes in
+the left-hand group can each target upstream `main` independently. Each node is
+identified by its origin PR; the arrows still represent upstream prerequisites.

+## Origin tracking and upstream PRs
+
+The source branches and commits identify each proposed patch; they do not add
+dependencies to the graph.

+## Why these dependencies exist
+
+- **`PROTOCOL_EXT` → `PROTOCOL_NAMES`:** `PROTOCOL_EXT` introduces
+  `ExtractedFunc.isProtocolRequirement` and filters
+  `supportedProtocolRequirements(of:)` with it. `PROTOCOL_NAMES` builds its
+  overload disambiguation and declaring-interface naming on that filtered set.
+  Its patch requires `PROTOCOL_EXT`; it does not require `MAIN_ACTOR`.
+- **`MAIN_ACTOR` is independent:** it annotates synchronous thunks and generic
+  openers and checks the caller's executor. It does not use the other fixes.
+- **`ACTOR_PROPERTIES` is independent:** it adds
+  `SwiftFunctionSignature.nonisolatedWitnessProtocol` and reads actor properties
+  through that protocol. It uses neither the new protocol-requirement classifier
+  nor the `MAIN_ACTOR` thunk changes.
+- **`FOUNDATION` is independent:** it extends the existing callback conversions
+  and adds the `JavaUtilUUID` runtime projection. It does not require protocol
+  extension filtering, requirement-name changes, or either isolation fix.
+
+These relationships were checked against the source patches. The four
+independent patches each pass `git apply --check` against upstream `301e3da`.
+`PROTOCOL_NAMES` does not apply to that baseline alone, and passes the same check
+after applying `PROTOCOL_EXT`. Patch applicability supports the source analysis;
+it is not a substitute for compiling and testing each upstream submission.
+
+## Upstream submission order
+
+1. `MAIN_ACTOR` is already submitted as upstream #938. `PROTOCOL_EXT`,
+   `ACTOR_PROPERTIES`, and `FOUNDATION` can each be submitted against upstream
+   `main` without waiting for #938 or for one another.
+2. Submit `PROTOCOL_NAMES` after `PROTOCOL_EXT` merges upstream, or submit it as
+   a stacked PR with an explicit dependency on the upstream `PROTOCOL_EXT` PR.
+   Keep the naming PR's diff limited to its own changes, then rebase onto
+   upstream `main` and retarget after the prerequisite merges.
+
+Shared files and merge conflicts may require rebasing; they do not by themselves
+create a prerequisite. When adding a fix, record its origin PR, corresponding
+upstream PR (or pending status), descriptive ID, source commit, and the code-level
+reason for every new edge. Update pending upstream PR links and statuses as
+submissions progress. Merging a fix in this fork does not mark it merged upstream.
