In Spring Boot 4, WebClient auto-configuration (which provides the WebClient.Builder bean) was split out of spring-boot-starter-webflux into a new dedicated spring-boot-starter-webclient module. Added that dependency to pom.xml, which resolves WebClientAutoConfiguration and fixes the missing bean error for bcRegistryApi (and all other WebClient.Builder-dependent beans in GlobalServiceConfiguration).
