Worked on the xm-commons repository to enhance CI/CD and build reliability, focusing on aligning artifact publishing with Sonatype API v1 for staging environments. Addressed sporadic build failures by tuning JVM arguments for the Gradle daemon, optimizing memory usage and encoding settings to improve overall build stability and performance. Updated gradle.properties to support new publishing and runtime configurations, resulting in a more robust deployment workflow for staging. The work centered on build configuration, leveraging Gradle and Gradle Properties to streamline the developer experience. No critical bugs were addressed, as the primary emphasis was on reliability, performance, and deployment process improvements.
