Worked on enhancing build quality for the rsksmart/powpeg-node repository by updating code quality tooling dependencies. Focused on build management and dependency management, the work involved upgrading Spotless and Checkstyle to their latest versions within the Gradle build configuration. This approach ensured that the project benefited from recent formatting features and security patches, aligning code quality tools with current standards. By keeping these dependencies up-to-date, the developer improved the reliability and maintainability of the build process and strengthened the continuous integration feedback loop for code formatting and linting, supporting ongoing code hygiene and maintainability for the project’s development lifecycle.
