Research direction

Start by locating the Maven dependency declarations for the repackaged Apache Commons Lang, IO, and Codec libraries, then search for their imports and references across the project. Replace the dependency coordinates and update affected references as needed. Run the standard unit test suite and confirm utility functionality remains intact; update documentation only if the migration requires it.
