Description

Spring Boot actively ignores web fragments which means that the flow-server-compatibility-mode dependency isn't automatically enabling compatibility mode. This is mentioned in the documentation but there's still a significant risk that users are struggling because they didn't notice the documentation.

To deal with this, Vaadin could explicitly look for the situation when flow-server-compatibility-mode is present (potentially by adding an additional marker to that package) and in case the property also isn't set, then either explicitly set it or throw an exception at startup.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how Spring Boot handles the flow-server-compatibility-mode dependency and the compatibility-mode property, then clarify whether the intended result is automatic property setting or a startup exception. Done requires an agreed behavior for the dependency-present/property-absent case and coverage for that startup path.
