⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Version Conflict The file contains both the new version 8.1.1 and the old version 7.4.1 on separate lines. Only the new version should be present, but the old version wasn't properly removed. 8.1.1 Missing Configuration The lockfile mode configuration was removed (--lockfile_mode=off) but no replacement was added. This might affect module dependency resolution behavior in Bazel 8. # Required for rules_closure common --enable_workspace common --noincompatible_disallow_struct_provider_syntax

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
Possible issue	Remove duplicate version line Remove the duplicate version line. The file should only contain a single version number, but currently it has both 8.1.1 and 7.4.1. .bazelversion [1-2] +8.1.1 - 7.4.1 [To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually] Suggestion importance[1-10]: 10 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a critical issue where the .bazelversion file contains both the new version (8.1.1) and the old version (7.4.1). This file should only contain a single version number, and having both would cause build failures or unpredictable behavior.	High
