Research direction

Start by reviewing POM.xml and reproducing the reported test failures in a clean checkout. Check whether the failing tests require Hamcrest and whether the dependency is already provided elsewhere; done means the dependency question is resolved and the project tests pass consistently without a local-only setup.

Description

ai-triaged question

I had all my tests fail, until I added Hamcrest as project dependency inside POM.xml. Should this be added inside POM.xml, or somehow I got test errors only on my side?
