August 2025 monthly summary for gradle/common-custom-user-data-maven-extension. Focus: improve CI/Build Scans traceability by integrating GitHub Actions run numbers. Delivered via two commits: first adds environment variable check and tagging for GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER; second refactors to set the value directly via buildScan.value for robustness. This results in build scans that can be linked to exact CI runs, enabling faster debugging, auditing, and ROI on CI pipelines. No major bugs fixed this month for this repository.
