Hi! `KotlinJvmOptions.jvmTarget` is `null` by default, but what does that mean? Does that mean that the Kotlin compiler will target the max. bytecode level the JVM used for the build supports?

Sounds like a <#C19FD9681|gradle> question?
But now that you're here, I'd say this is using whatever the default in your Kotlin Gradle Plugin is

As of 1.7.21, this is <https://github.com/martinbonnin/kotlin/blob/e333b76532435dfbab5d6631a48d4592b2bdf6ea/compiler/config.jvm/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/config/JvmTarget.kt#L45|1.8> IIRC

If it hasn’t changed, if you don’t set a value it will use the java version you are using to compile.

but now everything is being moved to the toolchain APIs so I don’t know the real state of it, indeed since some 1.7.XX version you need to change it via java accessor too if you are not using the toolchain APIs
