@jottley Out of curiosity, what specific feature of Spring AI requires Spring 3.5.x or a Spring Cloud update? I thought it was compatible with 3.4.x, but as I'm not directly working with it, I'm not certain.

Also, do you have a ticket for this change? If so, please associate it with AAE-36465; otherwise, please associate this with your PR.

There was no ticket for this issue. I was doing a demo for CommunityLive (https://github.com/jottley/alfresco-mcp) Using Spring AI 1.x is not compatible with the version of spring boot we are including in the sdk. I am using the MCP tooling from Spring AI.

When building the project you get an error similar to this one....

Caused by: org.springframework.cloud.configuration.CompatibilityNotMetException: Spring Cloud/ Spring Boot version compatibility checks have failed: [[VerificationResult@4e67cfe1 description = 'Spring Boot [3.5.5] is not compatible with this Spring Cloud release train', action = 'Change Spring Boot version to one of the following versions [3.4.x] .

This more of a "community contribution" than a specific work task.
