Final report for "Add Support for Mixin Composition in colcon-mixin", Google Summer of Code 2026 with OSRF / Open Robotics. Covers the merged work (colcon/colcon-mixin#70, #71), the open follow-ups (#73 and colcon/colcon.readthedocs.org#113), the architecture and the ordering alternatives that were considered and rejected, testing, and the week-by-week project history. The two working documents are archived under docs/ rather than linked externally so they remain readable alongside the report. The project log is lightly redacted: a recurring video-call link and a tokenised proposal download URL were removed. No project content was altered.
