feat(EM-28): Shared Parent Gradle Configuration for Microservices

feat(EM-28): Add shared Gradle convention plugins and version catalog

Summary

Introduces a build-logic/ composite build with Gradle convention plugins and a gradle/libs.versions.toml version catalog to standardize build configuration for the new microservices. This targets Java 17 + Spring Boot 3.2.5 for new services while leaving the existing monolith build (Gradle 4.10.2 / Java 8) untouched.

New files:

• gradle/libs.versions.toml — Centralized version catalog (Spring Boot 3.2.5, JUnit 5.10.2, Micrometer 1.12.5, Rest-Assured 5.4.0, Flyway 10.11.0, Jackson 2.17.0, Testcontainers 1.19.7, etc.)
• build-logic/ — Kotlin DSL precompiled script plugins:
  • ftgo.java-conventions — Java 17 toolchain, UTF-8, compiler flags, group
  • ftgo.spring-boot-conventions — Spring Boot plugin + BOM + bootJar config
  • ftgo.testing-conventions — JUnit 5, Mockito, AssertJ, Rest-Assured, integration test task
  • ftgo.docker-conventions — Jib-based container image builds (Temurin 17 base)
  • ftgo.publishing-conventions — Maven publishing with sources/javadoc JARs
• build-logic/README.md — Documentation with consumption instructions and examples

Modified:

• services/_template-service/build.gradle — Refactored to use convention plugins (18 lines, down from 21)

The build-logic/ project compiles successfully with Gradle 8.7 + Java 17.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• No services settings.gradle wiring exists yet. The README documents how to consume (pluginManagement { includeBuild(...) }), but no actual settings.gradle(.kts) was created under services/ to wire the build-logic includeBuild. Verify this is acceptable as a follow-up or needs to be added now.
• Testing conventions uses unversioned dependency strings (e.g. "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test" without a version). These resolve only if the Spring Boot BOM is present — meaning ftgo.testing-conventions silently depends on ftgo.spring-boot-conventions also being applied. Confirm this coupling is intended or if the plugin should use version catalog accessors instead.
• Docker conventions no longer sets OCI format. The ImageFormat.OCI line was removed during compilation (Jib Gradle plugin API doesn't expose it the same way). The README still claims "OCI image format" but the plugin defaults to Docker format. Verify if this matters.
• Template service lost project(':libs:...') dependencies. The original template had implementation project(':libs:ftgo-common') and project(':libs:ftgo-domain'). These were removed in the refactor. Confirm this is correct for the template or if inter-project dependencies should be preserved.
• Integration test task reuses test source set with @Tag("integration") instead of a separate integrationTest source set (like the monolith's IntegrationTestsPlugin.groovy). Verify this approach is acceptable.

Test Plan

1. Create a new microservice under services/ with a settings.gradle.kts that includes pluginManagement { includeBuild("../../build-logic") } and dependencyResolutionManagement { versionCatalogs { create("libs") { from(files("../../gradle/libs.versions.toml")) } } }
2. Apply ftgo.spring-boot-conventions, ftgo.testing-conventions, ftgo.docker-conventions in the service's build.gradle
3. Run ./gradlew :services:<service>:build to verify compilation
4. Run ./gradlew :services:<service>:jibDockerBuild to verify Docker image creation
5. Verify the service's build.gradle is < 30 lines and uses only catalog accessors

Notes

• The existing monolith build (Gradle 4.10.2 / Java 8) is not modified and remains functional
• The build-logic/ project requires Java 17 to compile (set via java.toolchain in build.gradle.kts)
• Version catalog uses modern dependency coordinates (e.g. com.mysql:mysql-connector-j instead of mysql:mysql-connector-java)
