auto-sdk-java-common/src/main/java/com/applause/auto/data/enums/SwipeDirection.java:60

• The default exception case was removed, so unhandled enum values will now fall through silently. Consider restoring the default branch or explicitly handling invalid values to prevent unexpected behavior.

• Removed .setLenient() changes JSON parsing behavior and may break lenient parsing use-cases. If lenient mode is required, re-add .setLenient() or verify that all JSON inputs conform to strict parsing.

  protected static final Gson gsonLenient = new GsonBuilder().create();

auto-sdk-java-config/src/main/java/com/applause/auto/config/PropertyHelper.java:204

• [nitpick] Removing the PMD.CognitiveComplexity suppression may surface complexity warnings here. Consider refactoring this method to reduce complexity or reintroducing a targeted suppression with justification.
