Pull Request Overview

The PR successfully updates the Gradle version to 9.6.1, and the static analysis indicates the code is up to standards. However, the update introduces undocumented changes to the network configuration within the Gradle wrapper properties that significantly reduce build resilience. By disabling retries and lowering the network timeout, the build process becomes vulnerable to transient network failures during the Gradle distribution download phase. This could lead to increased flakiness in CI/CD environments. Additionally, the PR lacks evidence of verification that the new wrapper executes correctly or that the project compiles with the updated version.

About this PR

• The update includes undocumented changes to network settings in 'gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties' that reduce the timeout and disable retry attempts, which could lead to flaky builds in CI or low-bandwidth environments.

Test suggestions

• Execute the wrapper to verify successful download and checksum validation of Gradle 9.6.1\n- [ ] Verify project build/compilation succeeds with the new Gradle version

Prompt proposal for missing tests

Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Execute the wrapper to verify successful download and checksum validation of Gradle 9.6.1\n- [ ] Verify project build/compilation succeeds with the new Gradle version

_{🟡 MEDIUM RISK}

Suggestion: Disabling retries and reducing the network timeout makes the distribution download process brittle and sensitive to minor network hiccups. This is a common source of flaky CI/CD builds. It is recommended to use more resilient values (e.g., 3 retries and a 30s timeout) to avoid immediate failures during environment setup. Try running the following prompt in your coding agent: > Set networkTimeout=30000, retries=3, and retryBackOffMs=1000 in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.
