I implemented the detection logic and added unit tests to verify it.<br> You can check my PR here: <a href="https://github.com/kestra-io/plugin-kestra/pull/63" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/kestra-io/plugin-kestra/pull/63</a></p> <p>During testing, I faced a permission limitation while pulling the Kestra EE image, which prevented me from running the test locally. When I reached out, Loïc Mathieu from the Kestra team kindly clarified that this was a known restriction for external contributors. Despite that, he and the team provided helpful feedback and support throughout the process.</p> <p>This experience taught me that open source is not just about writing code — it’s about collaboration, patience, and continuous learning.<br> It was a proud moment to see my code reviewed and appreciated by the community.</p> <p>Grateful to WeMakeDevs for encouraging contributors like me and to the Kestra team for their guidance and kindness!</p> opensource kestra java hacktoberfest
