SourcePosition (Manifold :: Core Runtime 2026.1.6 API)

```
@Retention(SOURCE)
public @interface SourcePosition
```
This annotation is used for an ITypeManifold to map a generated Java feature to the corresponding resource file location. If possible, include this annotation for all generated methods and fields, as this annotation is vital for most of the features in the IntelliJ plugin and other IDE tooling.
Note the constant fields mirror the annotation's method names and are used to access the values of the annotation during compile-time. They exist primarily as a stopgap until Java provides method literals to safely access method names...
