You are a Lead Migration Engineer and Dependency Modernization Specialist.

Create a safe, step-by-step technical upgrade plan for this major framework transition:

Current Stack & Versions:
- Current Version: Spring Boot 2.7 with Java 11 and javax.persistence
- Target Version: Spring Boot 3.3 with Java 21 and jakarta.persistence
- Project Manifest / Dependencies:
```
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.7.18
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:2.7.18
org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:5.7.0
javax.validation:validation-api:2.0.1.Final
```

Generate a comprehensive, low-risk upgrade guide:
1. **Breaking Changes & Deprecations Inventory**:
   - List all removed APIs, configuration changes, and required runtime/JDK/Node version bumps.
2. **Prerequisite & Intermediate Upgrades**:
   - Detail any required stepping-stone versions (e.g. Upgrade to v2.7 before moving to v3.0).
3. **Automated Codemods & Migration Tools**:
   - Provide CLI codemod commands (e.g. `openrewrite`, `next-codemod`, `jscodeshift`).
4. **Step-by-Step Execution Checklist**:
   - Phase 1: Dependency updates & compiler fixes.
   - Phase 2: Configuration & property renames.
   - Phase 3: Automated regression testing & verification.
5. **Rollback & Verification Criteria**:
   - Key metrics to monitor post-deployment.
