Worked on dependency modernization within the joernio/joern repository, focusing on upgrading the dotnetastgen component to version 0.43.0 to enhance compatibility with downstream tools and streamline future maintenance. Applied configuration management skills using HOCON to update application settings, ensuring the new dependency version was fully supported and integrated. The approach emphasized incremental modernization within a mature codebase, reducing maintenance risk and providing a clear, traceable upgrade path for future audits. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with efforts concentrated on version management and maintaining a clean dependency surface to support ongoing development and compatibility improvements.
