⚙️ Technical & Configuration​

🔧 Improvements​

• Workers: Backported the worker registration refactoring from the upcoming 2026 version to significantly enhance security. The WorkerController no longer exposes open registration endpoints. As a result, external workers now require a specifically generated authentication token (passed via the WORKER_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable) to securely register and connect to the broker.
• Fast2-SDK: The SDK package is now distributed as a "fat JAR" containing all necessary transitive dependencies. This resolves an issue where customers were blocked from compiling custom modules due to restricted access to internal Artifactory repositories. Customers can now easily install the SDK locally without requiring special credentials.

🐞 Bug Fixes​

• LocalSource Task: Fixed a critical regression that caused massive disk usage during large migrations. Input files were systematically being physically copied to the shared folder due to the file encryption mechanism triggering unconditionally. Files are now efficiently referenced by their absolute paths without being copied. Additionally, content encryption is now disabled by default to simplify deployments.
• FlowerDocs Extractor: Resolved an issue that prevented the extraction of FlowerDocs annotations. The required org.eclipse.persistence libraries (core, moxy, asm, antlr) are now shipped by default in the libs-bundle, eliminating the need for users to add them manually.
