What problem(s) was I solving?
The project lacked automated code formatting, which can lead to inconsistent code style across contributions and make code reviews more tedious due to style-related changes mixed with logical changes.
Additionally, the build was using JDK 11 in CI, but the Spotless Maven plugin (v3.0.0) requires JDK 17 to run.
What user-facing changes did I ship?
No user-facing changes. This is a developer tooling improvement.
