November 2025 monthly summary for temporalio/sdk-java. Focused on improving testability and reliability of Spring Boot integrations. Delivered an in-memory test server for non-root namespaces, enabling isolated tests without external dependencies. Fixed test wiring issues by resolving TestWorkflowEnvironmentAdapter by type with a fallback to the correct bean name, and added regression tests to guarantee non-root namespaces use the in-memory environment even when a connection.target is configured. Ensured code formatting across changes, contributing to a more stable CI pipeline.
