That is why it has worked, unchanged, since long +before virtual threads existed, and why it is still the correct choice for library code that +cannot assume the application has set `MODE_INHERITABLETHREADLOCAL` globally. + +## D) ContextPropagatingTaskDecorator -- the mechanism that's actually new + +This is the one that did not exist when the [original version of this +post](https://ankurm.com/spring-security-context-propagation-complete-guide/) went up. +Spring Security 6.5 (GA 2025-05-19) added `SecurityContextHolderThreadLocalAccessor`, which +self-registers with Micrometer's `ContextRegistry` via `ServiceLoader` the moment +`io.micrometer:context-propagation` is on the classpath -- no bean, no configuration. Spring +Framework's `ContextPropagatingTaskDecorator` (since 6.1) uses that registry to snapshot and +restore every registered `ThreadLocalAccessor` around a task.
