How does Spring Boot support GraalVM Native Image, and what are its limitations?
Spring Boot 3+ runs an AOT processing phase at build time that generates bean-definition source code and reflect/proxy/resource config hints GraalVM needs, replacing most runtime reflection. Limitations: no dynamic class loading, longer build times, and libraries with heavy runtime reflection may need manual @RegisterReflectionForBinding or RuntimeHintsRegistrar hints.
