Deserialization of Custom Wrapper Class Fails in Jackson 2.18.1 Without Nested Object Structure

### Describe your Issue

When upgrading from Jackson `2.17.2` to `2.18.1`, I encountered an issue with deserializing a custom wrapper class (ValidatedList) directly from an array in JSON. Previously, in `2.17.2`, the deserialization worked as expected.

Here is the code representation of my classes:

``` Kotlin
data class Profile(
val name: String,
val list: ValidatedList,
)

class ValidatedList(vararg list: Record) {
var items: List = listOf()

init {
this.items = list.asList()
}
}

data class Record(
val nationality: String,
val firstName: String,
)

```

In Jackson `2.17.2`, the following JSON deserialized correctly:

``` json

{
"name": "JohnDoe",
"list": [
{
"nationality": "US",
"firstName": "John"
},
{
"nationality": "GB",
"firstName": "Jane"
}
]
}

```

But in `2.18.1` i have a problem with deserialization:
```Error: Cannot deserialize value of type `example.ValidatedList` from Array value (token `JsonToken.START_ARRAY`)
at [Source: REDACTED (`StreamReadFeature.INCLUDE_SOURCE_IN_LOCATION` disabled); line: 3, column: 11] (through reference chain: example.Profile["list"])```

To make the deserialization work in `2.18.1`, the JSON has to be structured with an additional `items` key like this:

``` json
{
"name": "JohnDoe",
"list": {
"items": [
{
"nationality": "US",
"firstName": "John"
},
{
"nationality": "GB",
"firstName": "Jane"
}
]
}
}

```

Question
Is there a way to configure Jackson `2.18.1` to accept the original JSON format (without the nested `items` key)? I would like to maintain compatibility with the original JSON format while using the newer version of Jackson.

Any advice or configuration suggestions to address this would be greatly appreciated
