+/**
+ * Jackson ObjectMapper configuration with security controls.
+ *
+ * <p>This configuration provides a production-ready ObjectMapper with security hardening to prevent
+ * common JSON deserialization vulnerabilities while maintaining flexibility for application
+ * development.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Security Features:</b>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Polymorphic Type Validation:</b> Allowlist-based validation prevents arbitrary class
+ *       instantiation (prevents RCE via deserialization gadgets)
+ *   <li><b>No Default Typing:</b> Default typing is explicitly disabled to prevent injection
+ *       attacks
+ *   <li><b>Strict Number Handling:</b> Prevents integer overflow and floating-point precision
+ *       issues
+ *   <li><b>Content Validation:</b> Validates JSON structure and prevents malformed input
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p><b>Functionality Features:</b>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Java Time Support:</b> Native handling of java.time.* types (LocalDateTime, Instant,
+ *       etc.)
+ *   <li><b>JDK 8 Support:</b> Optional types (Optional&lt;T&gt;)
+ *   <li><b>Parameter Names:</b> Preserves parameter names for cleaner JSON binding
+ *   <li><b>Flexible Deserialization:</b> Backward compatibility with unknown properties
+ *   <li><b>Null Handling:</b> Configurable null and empty value handling
+ *   <li><b>Date Formats:</b> ISO-8601 standardized date/time formatting
+ *   <li><b>Naming Strategy:</b> snake_case for API consistency
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p><b>Compliance:</b>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>OWASP Top 10 2021 - A8 (Software and Data Integrity Failures)
+ *   <li>CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data)
+ *   <li>OWASP API Security Top 10 - API8 (Injection)
+ * </ul>
