   <!--
   Please open pull requests against one of the following branches:
   
   - master — default target for all changes (new features + bug fixes).  
     If the change should also go to maven-4.0.x, request a backport in the PR.
   
   - maven-3.10.x — target for 3.x changes (new features + bug fixes).  
     If the change should also go to maven-3.9.x, request a backport in the PR.
     maven-3.9.x should receive only serious bug fixes, as it is approaching EOL.
   
   Backports are typically handled by maintainers; 
   however, after agreement you may open a separate backport PR to the target maintenance branch.
   -->
   
   Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
   contribution quickly and easily:
   
   - [ ] Your pull request should address just one issue, without pulling in other changes.
   - [ ] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand what the pull request does, how, and why.
   - [ ] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line and body.
     Note that commits might be squashed by a maintainer on merge.
   - [ ] Write unit tests that match behavioral changes, where the tests fail if the changes to the runtime are not applied.
     This may not always be possible but is a best-practice.
   - [ ] Run `mvn verify` to make sure basic checks pass.
     A more thorough check will be performed on your pull request automatically.
   - [ ] You have run the [Core IT][core-its] successfully.

Review Comment:
   💡 **Javadoc style nit:** The `<p>` tags here use the "bare paragraph separator" style (just `<p>` on its own line). While valid, the Maven codebase's Checkstyle configuration may flag this. Verify it passes `mvn checkstyle:check` on this module.
   
   Also, the other scope constants in this enum use minimal one-line Javadoc (e.g., `COMPILE` = `Compile, runtime and test.`). Consider filing a follow-up issue to bring the other scopes up to the same documentation level as `PROVIDED` here — or do it in this PR to avoid inconsistency.
