Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Exact exception subclass may be translated to IllegalArgumentException at the JPA boundary. Other error fragments: - Given proxy is not associated with the persistence context Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/e1f9fc665890067291278b67d3356b1e6754e554/hibernate-core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/event/internal/DefaultRefreshEventListener.java (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): refresh throws DetachedObjectException('Given entity is not associated with the persistence context') when no entry exists in the persistence context. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/7.0/migration-guide.adoc (official_docs, 2025, documented_behavior): 7.0: refreshing and locking detached entities no longer allowed; hibernate.allow_refresh_detached_entity removed. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/e1f9fc665890067291278b67d3356b1e6754e554/hibernate-core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/internal/SessionImpl.java (github_source, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): throws DetachedObjectException 'Given proxy is not associated with the persistence context' (line 1832).
