Thank you for the guidance and for sharing the commands and details. I appreciate you taking the time to explain how the Spotless and RAT checks were run successfully on Ubuntu. I understand the vote has now concluded, so I’ll try reproducing this again (possibly using Linux/WSL) for learning purposes and future release validations. Thanks again for your support and guidance — it’s very helpful as a new contributor.

I attempted to validate the source release on Windows using Java 21. The build progressed through compilation but failed due to: - spotlessGroovyGradleCheck (formatting violations on Windows) - Apache RAT check reporting one unapproved license Thanks for checking and voting. My spotless check succeeded on Ubuntu 22 and I used this command: ./gradlew spotlessCheck When I did a RAT check, I got this summary: Notes: 2 Binaries: 18 Archives: 0 Standards: 6099 Apache Licensed: 6099 Generated Documents: 0 I used this command for the RAT check: ./gradlew rat The above summary is from the file build/reports/rat/rat-report.txt Hope this helps. -Terence These appear to be tooling or environment-related issues rather than functional problems. Please feel free to guide me if I am missing something or if this assessment is incorrect, as I am still learning the release validation process. Thanks to the release manager and all contributors for their efforts on this release.
