📝 Info: Unversioned junit:junit relies on the Boot BOM still managing JUnit 4

testImplementation("junit:junit") has no version and depends on io.spring.dependency-management supplying it from spring-boot-dependencies. Boot 2.7.x still manages junit:junit, so this resolves; note that this breaks if the project is later moved to Boot 3.x, where JUnit 4 management was dropped. Also relevant: Gradle 7.6.4 was a deliberate pick since the Boot 2.7 Gradle plugin does not support Gradle 8.

Agreed that this declaration isn't exercised, but I'd rather not change test-framework wiring in a build-level upgrade PR. For the record the coordinate does resolve — the Boot 2.7.18 BOM manages junit:junit at 4.13.2 — it's just that with no test sources nothing forces resolution. Leaving it as-is; swapping to spring-boot-starter-test makes sense as a follow-up when tests are actually added.
