Hi Alex, The Drools CI ran successfully and updated the 999-SNAPSHOT versions as expected. However, the OptaPlanner and Kogito builds were unstable and didn't correctly update the 999-SNAPSHOT version, so I'm currently investigating those issues before proceeding with the kie-tools build. I plan on branching the kie-tools repo next week once that's resolved.
I'll update the Zulip thread as I make progress.
