There is a contradiction at Java SDK documentation for `WorkflowIDReusePolicy`

At [Java WorkflowOptions reference | Legacy documentation for Temporal SDKs](https://legacy-documentation-sdks.temporal.io/java/reference-workflowoptions) , it is said:

Default: `enums.AllowDuplicateFailedOnly` is the default value. It means that the Workflow can start a new run if the previous run failed, was canceled, or was terminated.

At [WorkflowOptions.Builder (temporal-sdk 1.19.1 API)](https://www.javadoc.io/static/io.temporal/temporal-sdk/1.19.1/io/temporal/client/WorkflowOptions.Builder.html#setWorkflowIdReusePolicy(io.temporal.api.enums.v1.WorkflowIdReusePolicy))

it is mentioned that Default value if not set: **AllowDuplicate**
