# Description of Changes
This pull request makes several updates to the repository’s CI/CD
configuration, focusing on improving workflow automation, updating Java
versions, enhancing labeling and file ownership, and cleaning up unused
files. The most significant changes involve migrating workflows and
labels to support a new `V3` branch, updating build environments to use
JDK 21, and expanding automated dependency update coverage.
**Key changes include:**
### CI/CD Workflow Updates
* Updated all GitHub Actions workflows (`build.yml`,
`PR-Demo-Comment-with-react.yml`, etc.) to use JDK 21 instead of JDK 17
for Java builds, ensuring compatibility with newer Java features and
dependencies.

* Removed the now-unused `codeql.yml-disabled` file, cleaning up
deprecated static analysis configuration.
* Added a dedicated `frontend-validation` job in `build.yml` that only
runs when frontend files change, improving CI efficiency.
* Minor workflow improvements: consistent quoting in config paths,
improved cache settings, and small cleanups in deploy scripts.

### Branch and Label Management
* Migrated auto-labeler and build workflows to track the `V3` branch
instead of `V2`, and updated labels and labeler config to use `v3`
instead of `v2`.

* Added new labels for `v3`, `Rust`, `Tauri`, and
`license-review-required` to improve PR categorization and review
processes.
### Dependency Automation
* Expanded `dependabot.yml` to update Gradle dependencies in all
relevant subdirectories (`/`, `/app/common`, `/app/core`,
`/app/proprietary`) and ensured all ecosystems use the `rebase-strategy:
auto` setting for more reliable PR updates.
### File Ownership and Labeling
* Enhanced `.github/config/.files.yaml` to include new scripts and
frontend-related files under the correct project and frontend
categories, and introduced license file groups for both frontend and
backend.

* Improved labeler configuration to better match new frontend and
translation file patterns, and introduced a new label group for
Tauri-related files.

These changes collectively modernize the repository’s automation,
streamline maintenance, and prepare the project for ongoing work on the
`V3` branch.

to improve automation, security, and maintainability. The most
significant changes include expanding Dependabot coverage to more
directories and ecosystems, updating pre-commit and Python dependency
versions, and pinning action versions in GitHub workflows for better
reproducibility and security.
**Dependency Management Improvements:**
