[Bug]: test-support build has an undeclared JAR task dependency #12136
Description
Problem
On the current main build, Gradle 8.14.3 can reject :test-support:build during task validation: :test-support:test consumes the output of :test-support:jar without an explicit task dependency. The aggregate build can stop before the support-module tests run.
Reproduction
Run ./gradlew :test-support:build --no-build-cache with Gradle 8.14.3. Gradle reports the implicit dependency between the test and jar tasks. This is a build wiring issue in the test-support module, independent of production code.
Expected result
Declare the task ordering in test-support/build.gradle, for example tasks.named('test') { dependsOn tasks.named('jar') }, so the module build and tests pass Gradle's task validation.
Suggested label: type/bug.

Hi maintainers,
I'd like to investigate and work on this issue.
I'll first reproduce the Gradle task validation failure locally, inspect the task dependency configuration in the test-support module, and submit a minimal fix with verification.
Please let me know if anyone is already working on this or if there are any preferred implementation considerations.
Thanks!
