No file or test is named. Start by locating org.rnorth.duct-tape:duct-tape:1.0.8 in the build configuration and tracing its usages in Core; compare a maintained replacement with in-source functionality. Done means the dependency is removed, equivalent behavior is preserved, and the relevant tests pass.
