February 2026 monthly summary: Across OpenRewrite and Moderne docs, delivered cross-build interoperability and reliability enhancements. Key initiatives included introducing the Gradle FindRepositoryOrder recipe and a unified Maven/Gradle FindRepositoryOrder with a MavenRepositoryOrder data table to support mixed-repo environments; enhanced PrepareRecipe RPCs to accept resolvers and gracefully fall back to classpath loading for missing resolvers, improving Node.js repository compatibility; hardened DeclarativeRecipe for concurrency with a ThreadLocal accumulator and safe cloning to eliminate race conditions and memory leaks; launched a unified dependency ordering workflow to standardize dependency sorting across Maven and Gradle; added an AWS S3 LST cleanup script to improve storage resource management with batch deletions and retention policies; and expanded documentation to strengthen security, observability, and API usage across SCM providers, including OAuth scopes and API gateway bearer token configuration. These efforts collectively improve business value by enabling reliable, cross-build data visibility, reducing runtime failures, and clarifying security and usage for customers.
