Description
See #38176 for an example of a problem caused by a mismatch of the test containers and spring lifecycle. It would be nice if we could prevent users from hitting the same problem.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #38176 and tracing how the affected Testcontainers tests interact with the Spring lifecycle. Then locate the existing test-context and Testcontainers integration points and determine where automatic @DirtiesContext behavior would belong. Done means the lifecycle mismatch is prevented without requiring users to add the annotation manually, with coverage for the reported scenario.
