Hi, Here is my vote
+1 (binding) - Validated signatures and hashes - Build from tag + run tests with Java 21/25 - Run a StormCrawler topology -> worked fine Note: Source distribution currently contains the „node_modules“ folder. We should exclude that from the source packaging as it makes the src rather large. Don’t think it is a blocker since it was the same for 2.8.5.
