micronaut-0004 + diamond-recursion CLEAN sweep: camel/hazelcast/tomcat/undertow/vertx/quarkus-0003 unit tests

micronaut-0004: AbstractAnnotationMetadataBuilder.processAnnotation O(2^D) diamond recursion
in meta-annotation stereotype traversal. isProcessed() guard tracks only current-path ancestors,
not globally visited nodes — diamond meta-annotation hierarchies cause exponential re-visits
of shared base annotations (e.g. @Transactional + @Retryable both extend @InterceptorBinding).
13x at D=8, 41x at D=10. 10/10 unit tests PASS.

quarkus-0003 unit tests: added to QuarkusTest.java for the existing quarkus-0003
BeanDeployment.recursiveBuild diamond defect. 9/9 PASS.

CLEAN markers: camel, hazelcast, tomcat, undertow, vertx — no diamond recursion pattern found.
Hazelcast uses proper Tarjan algorithm. Tomcat uses iterative constraint propagation.

+
+## Description
+
+`AbstractAnnotationMetadataBuilder.processAnnotation()` traverses the meta-annotation
+stereotype hierarchy recursively. The cycle guard `context.isProcessed(annotationValue)` only
+checks whether the annotation appears as an **ancestor in the current recursion path** — it does
+NOT prevent re-visiting an already-processed node via a diamond-shaped meta-annotation graph.
+
+```java
+private Stream<ProcessedAnnotation> processAnnotation(ProcessingContext context,
+                                                      ProcessedAnnotation processedAnnotation) {
+    AnnotationValue<?> annotationValue = processedAnnotation.getAnnotationValue();
+    // isProcessed checks only parentAnnotations (current path ancestors), NOT a global visited set
+    if (AnnotationUtil.INTERNAL_ANNOTATION_NAMES.contains(annotationValue.getAnnotationName())
+        || context.isProcessed(annotationValue)) {
+        return Stream.empty();
+    }
+    // ...
+    processedAnnotation = addStereotypes(context, processedAnnotation, stereotypesProvided);
+    // addStereotypes → extractStereotypes → processAnnotation (recursive call)
+```
+
+```java
+private List<ProcessedAnnotation> extractStereotypes(ProcessingContext context,
+                                                     ProcessedAnnotation processedAnnotation) {
+    ProcessingContext newContext = context.withParent(processedAnnotation.annotationValue);
+    // ...
+    return ... .flatMap(stereotype -> processAnnotation(newContext, stereotype)).toList();
+}
+```
+
+`ProcessingContext.isProcessed` is defined as:
+```java
+boolean isProcessed(AnnotationValue<?> annotationValue) {
+    return parentAnnotations.contains(annotationValue.getAnnotationName());
+}
+```
+
+`parentAnnotations` tracks only the **current traversal path** (ancestors), not globally
+visited nodes. With a diamond meta-annotation graph:
+
+```
+@MyAnnotation  →  @Transactional  ─┐
+                                   ├─→  @InterceptorBinding  (visited twice)
+               →  @Retryable      ─┘
+```
+
+When processing `@MyAnnotation`:
+1. Process `@Transactional` (context = {MyAnnotation}) → process `@InterceptorBinding` [visit 1]
+2. Process `@Retryable` (context = {MyAnnotation}) → process `@InterceptorBinding` [visit 2]
+
+`@InterceptorBinding` is NOT in `{MyAnnotation}` during step 2, so the guard misses it.
+
+At diamond depth D=5: `@InterceptorBinding` is visited 2^4 = 16 times.
+At depth D=10: 512 times.
+
+Each visit calls `getAnnotationsForType()` (a compiler API call to read the annotation type's
+own annotations) and potentially invokes annotation mappers/transformers — all redundant work.
+
+### Real-world trigger
+
+Micronaut applications commonly use composite annotations that meta-annotate with multiple
+interceptor bindings (e.g., `@Cacheable`, `@Transactional`, `@Validated`, `@Retryable`).
+When two custom composite annotations share a common base meta-annotation, the diamond
+is formed. Large enterprise Micronaut apps with 5-10 custom composite annotations
+can reach diamond depth 4-6, causing 16-64x redundant annotation processing per element.
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace the path-only `isProcessed` guard with a **globally shared visited set** passed
+through the recursion:
+
+```java
+// In ProcessingContext or as a separate memoization map:
+// Key: annotationName; Value: already-computed result
+private final Set<String> globalVisited = new HashSet<>();
+
+private Stream<ProcessedAnnotation> processAnnotation(ProcessingContext context,
+                                                      ProcessedAnnotation processedAnnotation) {
+    String annotationName = processedAnnotation.getAnnotationValue().getAnnotationName();
+    if (AnnotationUtil.INTERNAL_ANNOTATION_NAMES.contains(annotationName)
+        || context.isProcessed(processedAnnotation.getAnnotationValue())
+        || !globalVisited.add(annotationName)) {  // ADD: global visited guard
+        return Stream.empty();
+    }
+    // ... rest of method unchanged
+```
+
+Alternatively, the top-level caller can pass a `Set<String> globalVisited` down through
+`ProcessingContext` and check it early in `processAnnotation`.
