+1 - sources parity - good - signatures - good (Windows assembly is signed with my key) - full build from sources - good - MacOS Modeler and MCP - runs on MacOS, JDK 25 - Generic Modeler and MCP - runs on MacOS, JDK 25 and 21 - Windows Modeler - runs on Windows 11, JDK 25 unsupported, only JDK 21 checked - RAT - missing headers in TestMcpServer.java and in org.slf4j.spi.SLF4JServiceProvider (we have headers in other providers). Good enough for the milestone release, it may be fixed later. - Staging Maven repo - good, verified with a demo project
Also a note about the RAT: a bunch of new `.md` files are not excluded, need to fix config.
