-# Gradle invocation strategy:
-#   - Linux/macOS: `./gradlew` runs the POSIX shell wrapper natively.
-#   - Windows:     `cmd /c ".\gradlew.bat ..."` invokes the .bat wrapper through
-#                  cmd.exe so it inherits the user's Windows-side `JAVA_HOME`
-#                  and PATH. Routing through `bash gradlew` on Windows ends up
-#                  under WSL or Git-Bash, neither of which inherits
-#                  Adoptium/Temurin's default Windows-only Java env - gradlew
-#                  then errors with "JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command
-#                  could be found".
-#
-#                  The entire `.\gradlew.bat ...` payload is double-quoted so
-#                  the leading `.\` survives mvdan/sh's POSIX backslash
-#                  stripping; cmd.exe also requires `.\` (not bare `gradlew.bat`)
-#                  because modern Windows excludes cwd from cmd's search path.
+# All gradle invocations go through `bash gradlew` (the sh wrapper) so they work
+# uniformly on Linux/macOS (native bash) and Windows-with-Git-Bash.

-## Stack reality check (don't trust LLM training data) <!-- bleeding-edge-stack-note -->
-
-This codebase is on bleeding-edge versions of its core JVM stack: **Spring Boot 4.0.6**,
-**Jackson 3 (`tools.jackson`)**, **JDK 21/25 source/target with JDK 25 toolchain**.
-All three are *post*-2024 releases and your training corpus is overwhelmingly Spring Boot 2/3 and
-Jackson 2 patterns — those patterns will compile, run differently, or hallucinate APIs that no
-longer exist.
-
-Before writing or editing Spring / Jackson / JDK code:
-
-1. Open an existing module in `app/core/` or `app/common/` and grep for the actual imports being
-   used — `import tools.jackson...` not `import com.fasterxml.jackson...`, and the new
-   `org.springframework.boot` 4.x package layout.
-2. If you're not sure whether an API exists in this stack version, **check the source on disk
-   first** (the dependency JARs are downloaded under `~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/`).
-3. Do not silently downgrade a Spring Boot 4 pattern to a Spring Boot 3 equivalent. If something
-   doesn't work, surface it to the human — don't guess.
-
-Same goes for Jackson 3's API surface (renamed `ObjectMapper` builder methods, new
-`tools.jackson.databind` namespace) and JDK 25 preview features. Ground your code in this repo's
-actual imports, not what worked three years ago.
