(Optional) Kotlin and Kotlin Gradle Plugin (KGP) version 2.1.21

(Optional) reason output for bugs relating to incorrect advice

You asked about the dependency ':lib3'.
You have been advised to change this dependency to 'implementation' from 'api'.

Shortest path from :lib2 to :lib3 for compileClasspath:
:lib2
\--- :lib3

Shortest path from :lib2 to :lib3 for runtimeClasspath:
:lib2

Shortest path from :lib2 to :lib3 for testCompileClasspath:

\--- :lib3

Shortest path from :lib2 to :lib3 for testRuntimeClasspath:

Source: main
------------
* Imports 1 class: com.example.lib3.MyOptIn (implies implementation).

Source: test
------------
(no usages)

Describe the bug

Existing dependencies which should be modified to be as indicated:
  implementation(project(":lib3")) (was api)

The plugin suggests changing configuration from api to implementation for the module containing OptIn annotation. As a result, the compiler fails to recognize invocations of methods annotated with OptIn.

To Reproduce Execute

./gradlew :lib2:projectHealth

OptInReproducer.zip

Expected behavior Declare dependency with OptIn annotations as api or compileApi?
