1. FYI IDEA 2026.2.1 Preview does not support Maven 4.0.0-rc-6 [third
attempt] import, it was fine on the second attempt. This IDEA version
already implemented 3.10.0-rc support
Ticket:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-392211/Support-Maven-4.0.0-rc-6-i=
mport

2. The build performance is noticeably worse,than 3.9.16, I had to increase
timeouts in CI as the process was just killed as too long.
Reproducers:
- Maven multiproject generator
https://github.com/maven-turbo-reactor/maven-multiproject-generator
  1m5s on 3.9 vs 1m29s on 4.0
- Maven multimodule reproducer (shared in DM with Tamas)
  6s on 3.9 vs 14s on 4.0

3. Maven clean race condition of target/project-local-repo when root
project has parent, submitted https://github.com/apache/maven/issues/12646

4. The resolution strategy of the "closest" version is changed, see
https://github.com/apache/maven/issues/12648
