Ankur Mhatre 86246dc860 Three new article modules: configuration binding, profiles and config data, Spring AOP
configuration-properties/  @ConfigurationProperties vs @Value on Spring Boot 4.1.1.
  The relaxed-binding matrix is generated by binding each spelling rather than
  transcribed, and re-checked against real processes -- the in-process probe was
  wrong twice before it was right. Records the three findings that came out of it:
  @Value does get relaxed resolution inside Spring Boot (Boot attaches
  ConfigurationPropertySources), the configuration processor silently stops
  generating metadata on JDK 23+ when declared as a plain dependency, and @Valid is
  not what makes nested constraints run.

profiles-and-config/       Precedence, profiles, spring.config.import and config trees.
  /precedence reports every source holding a property in rank order with file and
  line, which turns "my profile file had no effect" into a two-line answer. Also
  pins the counterintuitive one: an imported file outranks the file that imported it.

spring-aop/                Designators, proxy types, and aspects that do not fire.
  One advice per supported designator so the reference table is generated from real
  matches; all fourteen unsupported designators fed to the parser. Two corrections to
  the reference documentation: unsupported designators throw
  UnsupportedPointcutPrimitiveException (extends RuntimeException, not
  IllegalArgumentException), and spring-boot-starter-aop was renamed to
  spring-boot-starter-aspectj in Boot 4.

19 contract tests across the three modules, 15 captured transcripts, all regenerated
by scripts/run-all.sh. Verified on Spring Boot 4.1.1, Spring Framework 7.0.9,
JDK 25.0.4.1.

# Config trees: what a Kubernetes ConfigMap or Secret actually looks like to Spring Boot.
#
# A ConfigMap mounted as a volume is not a properties file. Kubernetes writes one file per
# key, named after the key, containing only the value. `configtree:` is the loader that reads
# that shape. This script builds the same directory layout on disk, so the demonstration is
# the real mechanism rather than a description of it.
