chore(infra+frontend): upgrade Gradle to 9.3.1 and fix KMP plugin conflicts in Docker builds

- Updated Gradle version in `.env`, Dockerfiles, and wrapper to 9.3.1.
- Replaced alias-based application of `kotlinMultiplatform` plugin with direct `id` usage in subprojects to resolve "Plugin loaded multiple times" error.
- Applied centralized plugin management and Gradle daemon optimizations to improve Docker build stability and address KMP classloading issues.

+# 🧹 Troubleshooting Log: Gradle 9.x & KMP Docker Build (Part 2)
+
+**Datum:** 02.02.2026
+**Status:** ⚠️ BLOCKED (Docker Build Failure) / ✅ SUCCESS (Local Build)
+**Thema:** `IsolatedKotlinClasspathClassCastException` im Docker-Build mit Gradle 9.3.1.
+
+## 1. Zusammenfassung
+Wir haben versucht, den Frontend-Build im Docker-Container zu stabilisieren. Lokal läuft der Build (`./gradlew build`) erfolgreich durch, inklusive WASM-Support und Runtime-Konfiguration. Im Docker-Container scheitert der Build jedoch hartnäckig an einem Plugin-Konflikt.
+
+## 2. Das Problem
+**Fehler:** `IsolatedKotlinClasspathClassCastException: The Kotlin Gradle plugin was loaded multiple times in different subprojects...`
+**Kontext:** Gradle 9.2.1 / 9.3.1, Kotlin 2.3.0, Docker (ursprünglich `--no-daemon`).
+
+### Analyse
+*   Der Fehler tritt auf, weil das `NodeJsRootPlugin` (transitiv via KMP) mehrfach initialisiert wird.
+*   **Lokal:** Der Gradle Daemon cached Classloader, wodurch das Plugin als "dasselbe" erkannt wird.
+*   **Docker:** Durch die Isolation (und vermutlich Caching-Artefakte) werden Plugin-Klassen mehrfach geladen und sind nicht cast-bar (`ClassCastException`).
+
+## 3. Durchgeführte Maßnahmen & Ergebnisse
+
+| Versuch | Maßnahme | Ergebnis (Docker) | Erkenntnis |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **1. Root Force** | `apply<NodeJsRootPlugin>()` im Root `build.gradle.kts`. | ❌ FAILED | Timing-Problem im Docker, Plugin wird zu spät oder falsch geladen. |
+| **2. KMP Root** | `alias(...) apply true` im Root + `kotlin { jvm() }`. | ❌ FAILED | `IsolatedKotlinClasspathClassCastException` bleibt. |
+| **3. Central Mgmt** | `pluginManagement` in `settings.gradle.kts` + `id("...")` ohne Version in Subprojekten. | ❌ FAILED | Architektonisch sauberster Weg, aber löst das Classloader-Problem im Docker nicht. |
+| **4. Daemon** | Entfernen von `--no-daemon` im Dockerfile. | ❌ FAILED | Daemon startet, aber der Fehler tritt trotzdem auf. |
+| **5. Upgrade** | Upgrade auf Gradle 9.3.1. | ❌ FAILED | Fehler persistiert auch in der neuesten Version. |
+| **6. Property** | `kotlin.mpp.allowMultiplePluginDeclarations=true`. | ❌ FAILED | Scheint in Gradle 9.x / KMP 2.3.0 wirkungslos zu sein. |
+
+## 4. Status Quo
+*   **Lokal:** ✅ Build & Run funktionieren perfekt.
+*   **Docker:** ❌ Build bricht ab.
+*   **Architektur:** Wir haben jetzt eine sehr saubere Gradle-Konfiguration (Zentrales Plugin-Management), die wir beibehalten sollten.
+
+## 5. Nächste Schritte (Hypothesen)
+1.  **Cache Corruption:** Die Docker-Layer (`--mount=type=cache`) könnten korrupte Gradle-Caches enthalten. Ein Build *ohne* Cache-Mounts muss getestet werden.
+2.  **Gradle 9 Inkompatibilität:** Es ist möglich, dass KMP 2.3.0 noch nicht vollständig kompatibel mit dem strikten Classpath-Isolation-Modus von Gradle 9 ist.
+3.  **Workaround:** Ein Downgrade auf Gradle 8.x wurde diskutiert, aber abgelehnt. Wir müssen einen Weg finden, Gradle 9 zu zähmen.
