Subject: [PATCH] Upgrade to Spring Boot 4.0.1

- Update Spring Boot version from 3.5.7 to 4.0.1
- Rename spring-boot-starter-web to spring-boot-starter-webmvc
- Remove explicit Jackson dependencies to use Spring Boot 4 managed versions
- Update SnakeYAML from 2.2 to 2.3
- Update SLF4J from 2.0.9 to 2.0.16
- Remove explicit Jackson version property as Spring Boot 4 manages Jackson 3

This upgrade brings:
- Jackson 3 with improved performance
- Spring Framework 7 latest features
- Jakarta EE 11 updated enterprise standards
- Enhanced modular design and null safety
- Java 17+ compatibility (already using Java 21)
