Spring AI plugged a critical dependency hole that broke multiple starters and integration tests across OpenAI, Anthropic, and MCP providers.

Spring Security's dependency desk is quiet this morning: a routine Hibernate ORM bump from 7.3.5.Final to 7.3.6.Final [1] is flowing through the pipeline with no breaking changes. The real work is across Spring AI, where the team spent the last 24 hours fixing a regression that escaped from a recent Boot dependencies refactor [2]. That commit broke MCP and Bedrock starters by severing required auto-configuration dependencies, and it cascaded into failures across integration tests for OpenAI [3] and Anthropic [4]. The team also patched a method-invoking function callback issue in the OpenAI client [5] and preventively added AGENTS.md to gitignore to match the existing CLAUDE.md exclusion [6]. All fixes are merged and the test suite is green again.

Action items

→ Review Spring AI's Boot dependency fixes if you consume MCP or Bedrock starters spring-projects/spring-ai [plan]
→ Pull latest Spring AI main if you're running integration tests against OpenAI or Anthropic spring-projects/spring-ai [plan]
