Description

https://protobuf.dev/editions/overview/

1st step:

  • Explicit error saying editions are not supported.

2nd step:

  • Allow edition parsing + hold it in elements + print it.
  • Allow feature set parsing + hold it in elements + print it.

3rd step:

  • Allow code generation based on it in Java/Kotlin. Swift or grpc-server will be left to the respective teams.

Research direction

Start with the Editions overview linked in the issue, then use the three-step checklist as the work breakdown. Done means explicit unsupported-editions errors are replaced by parsing, storage, and printing for editions and feature sets, followed by Java/Kotlin code generation support; Swift and grpc-server are explicitly out of scope.
