PR #19 tried to pin to gradle-5.6 branch, but analysis shows:
- gradle-5.6 branch: Last updated April 2021 (unmaintained)
- master branch: Last updated October 2025 (actively maintained)

Master branch has modern features:
- Reproducible builds for security
- Modern Gradle syntax
- Active maintenance

Decision: Keep master with security warning comments (already added)
This supersedes PR #19 which should be closed as outdated.
