Poem

🚀 A gentle nudge, a number's shift,
Client and photon both drift,
Small steps forward, versions climb,
Steady progress, marking time. ✨

🔇 Additional comments (3)

sdk-libs/photon-api/Cargo.toml (1)

3-3: Version bump to 0.53.0 is correct.

Minor version bump aligns with semantic versioning conventions. All dependencies remain unchanged and correctly scoped to external crates only, as required for SDK libraries.

sdk-libs/client/Cargo.toml (2)

3-3: Patch version bump to 0.17.2 is semantically correct.

The bump aligns with the companion photon-api minor version bump (0.53.0), and the workspace reference on line 49 ensures automatic compatibility. Patch-level increment suggests internal fixes or compatibility improvements without public API changes.

---

32-32: Optional dependencies correctly gated behind feature flags.

solana-banks-client and litesvm are marked optional = true and used only in the program-test feature, complying with the coding guideline that SDK libs must not hard-depend on programs without feature gating.

Also applies to: 51-51
