Using tests as a debugging tool for logic errors
This article seems like a very long-winded and complicated way to say that we should write tests. Am I missing something here? Wouldn't most developers write tests when creating algorithms, let alone something relating to finance as tax calculations? Yes, you should reproduce a defect by writing a failing tests first.
Where I hoped/thought this piece would go was to expand on the idea of error-prone[1] and apply it to the runtime.

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
error-prone is good for some extra static analysis.

How to use Java Records
A special kind of validation is enforcing that record fields are not null. (Un)fortunately, records do not have any special behavior regarding nullability. You can use tools like NullAway or Error Prone to prevent null in your code in general, or you can add checks to your records:

What I miss in Java, the perspective of a Kotlin developer
For some of this stuff, there are compiler extensions that allow extra type checking to be added e.g. Google Error-Prone: https://github.com/google/error-prone with stuff like: https://errorprone.info/bugpattern/ReturnMissingNullable.
Doesn't help you with third party libraries, but across an org applying that rule (and others!) typically ensures some consistency.
