* 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:

* 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.
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.
