You are correct since it should be in the list under "6.7.3. Application
context lifecycle" if it's supposed to be available to those observers.

(I was assuming the application-scope was available to extensions during
startup because of the sentence in 11.5: "For each service provider, the
container must provide a bean of scope @ApplicationScoped and qualifier
@Default, supporting injection of a reference to the service provider
instance. The bean types of this bean include the class of the
service provider and all superclasses and interfaces." But that only means
it should be available when the context is available).
