Description
Background
PR #311 pinned spring-retry:2.0.12 in the README's required-deps list because Spring Boot's BOM doesn't always manage spring-retry for consumers. This works but has a downside: when Spring Boot eventually starts managing spring-retry in its BOM, consumers with the explicit pin may end up with a version drift or redundant constraint.
Goal
Publish a Gradle platform BOM (or at minimum document a BOM-based approach) so consumers can rely on dependency management rather than explicit version pins for spring-retry.
Options to consider
- Publish a
ds-spring-user-framework-bomMaven BOM / Gradle platform that declares managed dependency versions. - Use
api(instead ofcompileOnly) forspring-retryso it's transitively available to consumers — though this conflicts with the library's "starters as compileOnly" philosophy. - Wait until Spring Boot's BOM manages
spring-retryand remove the pin from the README at that point.
Priority
Low — the explicit version pin in the README is a working solution. This is a clean-up / DX improvement for a future release.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the README's required-deps list and PR #311, then inspect how dependency versions are currently exposed to consumers. Compare publishing a ds-spring-user-framework-bom or Gradle platform with the api and documentation alternatives. Done means one chosen approach is implemented or documented, with the explicit spring-retry pin handled consistently.
