yes, its because the @Validate annotation is part of the KSP plugin, which is why you need it as an implementation too

[dave08]

Shouldn't it be in the core module (maybe even transitively imported by the plugin...)?

[Johann Pardanaud]

It was at start, but this annotation is only used by the compiler plugin and has no role to play in the core library.

In the future I might provide a way to get rid of the compiler plugin. There would be no reason to have a Validate annotation in the core if the compiler plugin is not even used.
