BeanDefinitions being generated for @Entity in 3.7.0

[sdelamo]

For an application generated with the hibernate-jpa feature, starting 3.7.0 we are generating bean bean definitions for classes annotated with javax.persistence.Entity.

for this entity

package com.example;

import io.micronaut.core.annotation.Creator;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotBlank;

@Entity
@Table(name = "account")
public class Account {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "username", nullable = false)
    @NotBlank
    private String username;

    @Column(name = "password", nullable = false)
    @NotBlank
    private String password;

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this.username = username;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }
}

The following test will pass for 3.7.0

package com.example;

import io.micronaut.context.BeanContext;
import io.micronaut.test.extensions.junit5.annotation.MicronautTest;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertFalse;

@MicronautTest(startApplication = false)
class AccountTest {

    @Inject
    BeanContext beanContext;

    @Test
    void beanDefinitions() {
        assertFalse(beanContext.getBeanDefinitions(Account.class).isEmpty());
    }
}

It will fail for 3.6.3.

Is this expected behaviour?

Looks like my changes making an entity a bean because of the validation annotations
