In April 2025, delivered the deprecation and removal of the cleanableStore dependency from web tooling configurations in the google/kotlin repository. This change targets Node.js, Yarn, Binaryen, and D8 tool configurations to resolve configuration-cache issues and simplify management of downloaded tool installations. A deprecation notice was added to CleanDataTask to indicate scheduled removal, ensuring teams can plan migrations ahead of time. The work reduces maintenance overhead and stabilizes tooling behavior, especially in CI and local development environments, by eliminating a legacy configuration that contributed to cache-related failures. This aligns with the long-term roadmap to remove outdated tooling dependencies and streamline build/tooling workflows.
