asmhatre 5e9e7f1b12 Split into per-article modules and add the method-security module
Moves the existing virtual-thread/context-propagation project into
context-propagation/ and adds method-security/ for the Spring Security 7
method-security article: nine runnable demos, fourteen assertions, and every
transcript the article quotes, regenerated by scripts/run-all.sh.

# spring-security-demo
Companion code for the Spring Security series on [ankurm.com](https://ankurm.com). Each
directory is a self-contained Maven project for one article, with its own `pom.xml`, its own
numbered documentation chapters, and its own captured output under `docs/output/` — regenerated
by that module's `scripts/run-all.sh`, never typed by hand.
| Module | Article | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| [`context-propagation/`](context-propagation/README.md) | [Spring Security Context Propagation: The Complete Guide](https://ankurm.com/spring-security-context-propagation-complete-guide/) | Whether a `SecurityContext` survives `@Async`, executors, virtual threads, `StructuredTaskScope`, Reactor, schedulers and the servlet filter chain |
| [`method-security/`](method-security/README.md) | [Method Security in Spring Security 7: `@PreAuthorize`, `@PostAuthorize` and the Proxy Traps](https://ankurm.com/spring-security-7-method-security-proxy-traps/) | What the method-security annotations do, the full SpEL surface, and the cases where the check silently does not run |
The two are related more closely than they look. Method security reads the `Authentication`
from `SecurityContextHolder` on the calling thread; the context-propagation module is about
getting it there. An `@Async` method carrying `@PreAuthorize` fails with
`AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException` for reasons that belong to the first module, not
the second.
## Common ground
Both 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.
## Running either module
```bash
cd method-security # or context-propagation
./scripts/run-all.sh # every demo plus the test suite, regenerating docs/output/
mvn test # just the assertions
```
