JUnit 6 Just Landed in Your Spring Boot 4.1 BOM: What Actually Changed

You bumped spring-boot-starter-parent to 4.1, ran the build, and noticed something in the test output: junit-jupiter:6.x. Nobody asked for it, nothing in your test code changed, and everything still passes. So what did you just get — and what breaks the day it doesn’t? …
