The general idea is that `SecurityContext` comes from `jakarta.ws.rs` and there is no reason for non-REST related classes to rely on those details. Instead, once preprocessing of a REST-request has inferred the `PolarisPrincipal` all inner/core code should rely on only that. Note that this simplifies a bunch of tests that had to create their own `SecurityContext` around the principal that they wanted to use, thus having to decide how to implement `isUserInRole` and the other methods.

* Pass AccessConfig into FileIOFactory (apache#2937) it should not be the responsibility of the `FileIOFactory` to know how to infer the `AccessConfig` * Remove EclipseLink Persistence Backend (apache#2963) as per ML decision the deprecated eclipselink backend is being removed in the next version: https://lists.apache.org/thread/16bj5kngf2kfhqv3noxwfm7h9wlzvhyv * feat: Improve PolarisAdminTool default output (apache#2961) * feat: Improve PolarisAdminTool default output * feat: Improve PolarisAdminTool default output * Add Polaris Community Meeting 2025-10-30 (apache#2973) * Remove legacy management endpoints (apache#2276) * Build/nit: cache output of `generatedMarkdownDocs` (apache#2967) `(Java)Exec` tasks are not cacheable by default, as annotated with `@DisableCachingByDefault`. Adding an `outputs.cacheIf { true }` enables caching on those tasks. * Build: Helper to get effective ASF project metadata (apache#2969) This change "bundles" the information of `AsfProject` and the `PublishingHelperExtensions`, which is what the code in `configurePom.kt` did. Bundling these objects allows other consumers, like CycloneDX SBOM generation, to access that same information without having to query remote systems (whimsey.apache.org) again. * Alternative, concise PR template (apache#2945) This PR proposes an alternative PR template that is much shorter, and removes all the redundant claims. It also links to the contribution guidelines for further guidance. * Add docs how to add `Server` header to HTTP responses (apache#2941) * Prefer PolarisPrincipal over SecurityContext (apache#2932) The general idea is that `SecurityContext` comes from `jakarta.ws.rs` and there is no reason for non-REST related classes to rely on those details.
