Summary of Changes

Hello @0xh3rman, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the project's dependency verification workflow by introducing a more robust and automated system for managing gradle/verification-metadata.xml. The changes streamline the process of adding and updating dependency hashes, particularly for Gradle distributions and key development tools like KSP, thereby improving build security and maintainability. Additionally, it cleans up the codebase by removing an outdated utility script.

Highlights

• Dependency Verification Automation: Introduced new scripts and justfile recipes to automate the process of adding dependencies to the Gradle verification metadata, making it easier to manage and update.
• Gradle Distribution Hashes: The new automation now automatically includes Gradle distribution hashes in the verification metadata, ensuring that Gradle upgrades do not break dependency verification.
• KSP and Kotlin Dependency Updates: Updated the gradle/verification-metadata.xml file to include the latest SHA256 hashes for various com.google.devtools.ksp components (version 2.2.21-2.0.4) and org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib (version 2.2.10).
• Script Removal: An obsolete script, scripts/extract_aab_apk.sh, which was used for extracting APKs from AAB files, has been removed.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a robust mechanism for managing Gradle's dependency verification metadata, which is a great improvement for build stability and security. The new scripts to add individual dependencies and to automatically handle the Gradle distribution hashes are well-structured. I've identified a significant security vulnerability in how dependencies are passed to Gradle, and a minor robustness issue in how the Gradle version is parsed. Addressing these points will make the new scripts even more solid.
