+ * Post: Jackson Annotations Cheat Sheet — https://ankurm.com/jackson-annotations-guide/
+ * Sections: "@JsonAlias" and "@JsonIgnoreProperties"
+ *
+ * Correction to the post: it frames @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true) as the
+ * per-class alternative to configuring FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES globally. In Jackson 3
+ * that feature is already DISABLED by default, so unknown fields are tolerated with no
+ * annotation at all. The annotation now matters mainly when you have deliberately turned
+ * strictness back ON — which is what the `strict` mapper below does.
