upgrade hikaricp to v7.0.2
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates a database connection-pooling library called HikariCP from version 4.0.3 to 7.0.2 in the project's build file. Such upgrades are often done to pick up bug fixes, performance improvements, or security patches, but the commit message itself does not say this is a security fix, and no specific vulnerability is referenced.
Review the HikariCP 4.0.3 to 7.0.2 changelog and any associated security advisories to determine whether this upgrade addresses known vulnerabilities. If it does, ensure the release notes or advisory are linked in the project records. If not, treat this as a routine maintenance update.
Security signals we found
Dependency version bump of a widely used database connection-pooling library
Major version jump (4.x to 7.x) may include security fixes, but none are identified in the commit
No explicit security-related keywords in commit title or message
