For traceability in git history - Move: dependencies.gradle → gradle/libs.versions.toml - No content changes - exact same Groovy syntax
This is a direct 1:1 conversion with versions still inline. For traceability in git history Changes: - Convert Groovy syntax to TOML in gradle/libs.versions.toml - Remove apply(from: "dependencies.gradle") from build.gradle - versions remain inline with libraries - Gradle plugins included as libraries (to be moved to [plugins] section later)
Restructure TOML into proper version catalog format with extracted versions. Changes: - Extract all versions to [versions] section with descriptive names - Organize [libraries] with logical vendor/purpose groupings: - Add [plugins] section for Gradle plugins - Add comments for multi-item sections
Fix the build by updating all .gradle files to use libs.* references.
Changes:
- Replace libraries.* references with libs.* throughout all build files
- Replace versions.* references with libs.versions.*.get()
- Fix TOML format: use { module = "..." } for dependencies without versions
- Fix BOM reference with .get().toString() for mavenBom()

Pull request overview
Migrates the build from a custom dependencies.gradle dependency map to Gradle Version Catalogs (libs.*) to centralize dependency coordinates/versions and improve IDE navigation/refactoring.
Changes:
- Introduces
gradle/libs.versions.tomland replaceslibraries.*usages withlibs.*across subprojects. - Removes
dependencies.gradleand updates rootbuild.gradlebuildscript/classpath and BOM import to use the version catalog. - Updates
model/build_properties.gradlebuildscript classpath dependency to use the catalog.

Version catalogs offer several advantages:
✅ Go to Definition: Click on libs.springBoot → jumps directly to the TOML entry
✅ Find All Usages: Right-click on a library in TOML → see everywhere it's used across all build files
✅ Dead Code Detection: IntelliJ grays out unused dependencies in the TOML file
✅ Safe Refactoring: Rename/delete dependencies with confidence using IDE refactoring tools
✅ Dependency Cleanup: Easily identify and remove unused dependencies
