PR rerun against new JPDFium snapshots kept using Gradle's cached versions from earlier runs. Gradle caches 'changing modules' (anything ending in -SNAPSHOT) for 24h by default, and gh run rerun --failed reuses the existing run's Gradle home — so even after publishing a fresh com.stirling:jpdfium-natives-*:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, the bootJar kept embedding the old natives. cacheChangingModulesFor 0 means every Gradle invocation re-checks the snapshot's maven-metadata.xml and pulls a newer timestamped build if present. cacheDynamicVersionsFor 0 does the same for non-snapshot dynamic versions (e.g. '1.+'). Both are scoped to the subprojects.configurations.all block alongside the existing security force-versions. Trade-off: every Gradle invocation in CI does a HEAD against Maven Central per snapshot dep (4 natives + 1 main jpdfium = 5 small requests). Negligible compared to a download. Reverts naturally when JPDFium ships a tagged release.
