Contributions summary:Jonathan primarily focused on enhancing the JavaScript scripting capabilities of openHAB. They implemented ES6+ support within the GraalJS engine, introduced a shared cache for scripting, and modified the GraalJS engine to utilize a new directory structure for automation scripts. Furthermore, they ensured that the GraalJS ScriptEngines were Autocloseable and also refactored the system so that the JS script engine does not watch `node_modules`. These changes demonstrate an effort to improve scripting functionalities within the openHAB ecosystem.
