The three are related more closely than they look. `filter-chain` is about how an
`Authentication` gets into `SecurityContextHolder` in the first place and in what order;
`context-propagation` is about whether it survives leaving the request thread; `method-security`
reads it back on whatever thread it ends up on. An `@Async` method carrying `@PreAuthorize` fails
with `AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException` for reasons that belong to the second module,
not the third — and a custom authentication filter that never populated the context in the first

the third — and a custom authentication filter that never populated the context in the first
place fails the same way, for reasons that belong to the first.
`cors-csrf` is where those order numbers stop being trivia. `CorsFilter` at 1000 and `CsrfFilter`
at 1100 both sit far above `AuthorizationFilter` at 4200, and almost every confusing symptom in
that module is a consequence of one of those three positions — including a 403 that arrives as a
401 because the container re-dispatched the request to `/error` and the chain ran a second time.
## Common ground
All three modules target the same verified stack: **JDK 25** (Temurin 25.0.4.1+1),
All modules target the same verified stack: **JDK 25** (Temurin 25.0.4.1+1),
**Spring Framework 7.0.9**, **Spring Security 7.1.1** — the versions Spring Boot **4.1.1**
manages. Versions were taken from `maven-metadata.xml` on Maven Central rather than from
release announcements.
`context-propagation` additionally needs `--enable-preview`, because `StructuredTaskScope` is
still a preview API on JDK 25. `method-security` does not. `filter-chain` is the only module
that is a real servlet application: it inherits `spring-boot-starter-parent` and runs on Tomcat,
because the thing it demonstrates only exists inside a servlet container.

## Running a module
```bash
cd method-security # or context-propagation, or filter-chain
cd cors-csrf # or context-propagation, method-security, filter-chain
./scripts/run-all.sh # every demo plus the test suite, regenerating docs/output/
mvn test # just the assertions
```
`filter-chain` also has `./scripts/run.sh <profile>` and `./scripts/stop.sh`, because its
scenarios are a running web application rather than a `main()` method.
`filter-chain` and `cors-csrf` also have `./scripts/run.sh <profile>` and `./scripts/stop.sh`,
because their scenarios are a running web application rather than a `main()` method.
`cors-csrf` adds `./scripts/preflight.sh`, which sends one CORS preflight and prints the headers
that decide the outcome.
