✅ Auto-approved as trivial change
Single-line version bump in gradle/libs.versions.toml (spring-boot 4.0.6 → 4.0.7) to fix a known session-fixation vulnerability; this is a pure version field update with no dependencies added/removed, analogous to the package.json version-bump exception, and the diff is only 2 lines total.

Context & Problem
GitHub Dependabot flagged a moderate-severity session fixation vulnerability in Spring Framework's WebFlux module (GHSA-4hfh-6x8g-gwpp, Dependabot alert #115):
org.springframework:spring-webfluxis vulnerable in the range >= 7.0.0, <= 7.0.7, patched in 7.0.8.spring-webfluxis pulled in transitively via the Spring Boot BOM platform (SpringBootPlugin.BOM_COORDINATES) used inspring-boot-starter/spring-boot-starter-webflux/build.gradle, so Dependabot could not open an automatic PR for it. See USPR-13809.Solution
spring-webflux's version is fully determined by the Spring Boot BOM version, centralized ingradle/libs.versions.toml(spring-bootversion, referenced by thespring-bootplugin alias used across all subprojects). Confirmed via the official Spring Bootv4.0.7GitHub release notes that Spring Boot 4.0.7 upgrades its managed Spring Framework version to 7.0.8, which includes the patchedspring-webflux. Bumpedspring-bootfrom4.0.6to4.0.7ingradle/libs.versions.toml— a single-line change, noresolutionStrategyoverride needed since the BOM itself now manages a version at or above the patched floor.Note: Spring Boot 4.0.7's own BOM also moves its managed Netty version to
4.2.15.Final, but this repo's existingresolutionStrategy.eachDependencyblock in rootbuild.gradlealready force-floorsio.nettyto>= 4.2.16.Finalregardless of the BOM, so there is no regression there.Verification
org.springframework:spring-webfluxresolves to >= 7.0.8 (verified via./gradlew :spring-boot-starter:spring-boot-starter-webflux:dependencies, showingorg.springframework:spring-webflux:7.0.8)./gradlew help -qpassed)🔍 Braintrust trace
