PR Summary

Medium Risk
This is a major SLF4J API bump on the test classpath while Logback remains pinned at 1.2.3, which may cause test compile or runtime issues until logging bindings are aligned with SLF4J 2.x.

Overview
Updates the shared slf4j_version property in build.gradle from 1.7.30 to 2.0.18, which drives the test-only org.slf4j:slf4j-api dependency. Main library sources do not reference SLF4J directly; tests use it via DefaultLogHandler.

SLF4J 2.0 breaks Logback binding

Low Severity

Bumping slf4j-api to 2.0.18 while logback-classic stays at 1.2.3 leaves tests without a working logging provider. SLF4J 2.0 only loads SLF4JServiceProvider bindings, which Logback 1.2 does not ship, so DefaultLogHandler silently uses a NOP logger.
