TRACK-018: Q1 2026 Library Upgrades

Goal

Upgrade project dependencies to substantial new versions available in Jan 2026 to maintain security, performance, and access to new features.

Scope

• Android Gradle Plugin: 8.13.2 -> 9.0.0
• Compose Multiplatform: 1.9.3 -> 1.10.0
• Kotlinx Serialization: 1.7.3 -> 1.10.0
• Kotlinx Coroutines: 1.9.0 -> 1.10.2
• Kotlinx Datetime: 0.6.1 -> 0.7.1
• Logback: 1.5.20 -> 1.5.25
• PostgreSQL Driver: 42.7.8 -> 42.7.9

Strategy

Upgrades will be executed in 3 isolated batches to minimize complexity and simplify debugging.

Implementation Plan

Batch 1: Core Libraries

Updates to standard libraries that are generally backward compatible but essential.

• Step 1: Update gradle/libs.versions.toml
  • kotlinxCoroutinesCore: “1.10.2”
  • kotlinxDatetime: “0.7.1” (Reverted to 0.6.1)
  • kotlinxSerializationJson: “1.10.0” (verify breaking changes)
  • logback: “1.5.25”
  • postgresql: “42.7.9”
• Step 2: Sync Gradle and Run Tests
  • ./gradlew :modules:backend:api:test
  • ./gradlew :modules:shared:domain:clean :modules:shared:domain:assemble

Batch 2: UI Framework (Compose)

Updates to the UI layer.

• Step 1: Update gradle/libs.versions.toml
  • compose: “1.10.0”
• Step 2: Verify Mobile Build
  • ./gradlew :modules:mobile:androidApp:assembleDebug

Batch 3: Build System (High Risk)

Major update to AGP.

• Step 1: Update gradle/libs.versions.toml
  • agp: “9.0.0”
• Step 2: Verify Project Build
  • ./gradlew clean build
