   `<prerequisites><maven>` has reused `${mvnversion}` — the same property that 
sets the `maven-core` dependency versions — since 2013. That property is now 
`3.9.16`, so the declared Maven baseline has silently drifted upward with the 
dependency bumps. Every other plugin in the 3.x line declares `3.6.3`.
   
   This pins the literal `3.6.3` so the compile-time dependency and the 
declared baseline move independently.
   
   **Unlike the sibling PRs, this one changes the declared value**: `3.9.16` → 
`3.6.3`, while the code still compiles against `maven-core` 3.9.16. That is the 
same arrangement the rest of the estate uses (compile against current, declare 
the supported baseline), but it does assume no post-3.6.3 API is in use here — 
worth a second pair of eyes.
   
   Verified with `mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.prerequisites.maven` → 
`3.6.3`.
