Summary of Changes
Hello @rashidi, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request introduces a configuration change to the Gradle build environment, enabling the use of the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC). This aims to improve the performance and reduce latency of Gradle operations by optimizing garbage collection within the Java Virtual Machine used for builds.
Highlights

Code Review
This pull request enables the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) for the Gradle build, which is a good initiative to improve build performance by reducing garbage collection pause times. My review includes a suggestion to also configure the JVM heap size, as ZGC works most effectively with an explicitly set, larger heap, which is particularly relevant for a multi-module project of this size.

Code Review
This pull request enables the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) and sets a 4GB heap size for the Gradle daemon, likely to improve build performance. My review suggests adding a comment to the new configuration to inform developers that the heap size can be overridden in their local settings. This will make the project more accessible for contributors and CI systems with different hardware configurations.

While enabling ZGC can improve build performance by reducing GC pauses, hardcoding the heap size to 4GB (-Xmx4g) might be too high for some developer machines or CI environments with limited memory. This could lead to failures when starting the Gradle daemon if sufficient memory cannot be allocated.
To make this configuration more flexible, it's good practice to add a comment indicating that this value can be overridden in a user's personal ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file. This helps other contributors easily adapt the settings to their own environment.
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:+UseZGC # Override in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties for different memory requirements
