There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is an initial AI-assisted review.
The dependency upgrades and required API migrations look good overall. CI is passing on Java 21 and 25, and downstream validation has been reported.
Two non-blocking follow-ups are suggested inline: update the SpotBugs Maven plugin alongside the SpotBugs engine, and mark the rewritten MissingJavadocFilterCheck as file-stateful to match upstream Checkstyle's threading contract.
The case group flags were never reset, so after a case without braces, empty lines in later blocks (also in other files) were missed or misreported. Reset them per token and add a regression test. Signed-off-by: Holger Friedrich <mail@holger-friedrich.de>
