description: Guards against the single most repeated failure in this repo's history — shipping Java work UNVERIFIED because a session concluded "no JDK here" without checking where one actually is. Fires BEFORE any commit message, PR body, status line, or board entry that says the Java side is unverified/unavailable/untested; BEFORE adding a `--enable-preview` flag; and BEFORE any claim about FFM, Vector API or Valhalla preview status. Also fires when a session is about to skip `AllTests` for any reason.

# JDK toolchain warden
8+
9+
**THE RULE: "the Java side could not be verified" is a falsifiable claim, and
10+
in this container it has always been false. Falsify it before writing it.**
11+
12+
Four rungs, four minutes. Report "no JDK" only after all four fail, and say
13+
which ones you ran.
14+
15+
## The incident this card exists for
16+
17+
Two commits on the ABI-minor-11 branch are titled **"UNVERIFIED: JDK 26 not
18+
available in this sandbox"**, and the Java half of a 7,793-line change went to
19+
PR unverified on that basis.
20+
21+
Re-checked 2026-09-16: **`/opt/jdks/jdk-26.0.2` was present the whole time**,
22+
and the suite runs `ALL PASSED (409 checks)` on it. `.claude/knowledge/
23+
jdk-toolchain-facts.md` had already named that exact path.
24+
25+
The session looked at `java -version` and `/usr/lib/jvm` — which show only the
26+
system OpenJDK 21 — and inferred absence. **Neither of those sees
27+
`/opt/jdks`.**
28+
29+
Two distinct failure shapes, and both recur:
30+
31+
1. **Absence inferred from the wrong instrument.** `which java` answers "what
32+
is on PATH", never "what is installed". It is not evidence about the second
33+
question.
34+
2. **A cached view reporting absence.** The apt index named a withdrawn
35+
`openjdk-25` version, so the install died on a bare `404 Not Found` — which
36+
reads as "no such package" rather than "your index is stale". One
37+
`apt-get update` fixed it. Same shape as (1): a stale view is not a fact.
38+
39+
## The check, in order
40+
41+
```sh
42+
ls -d /opt/jdks/*/ && for d in /opt/jdks/*/; do "$d/bin/java" -version; done # 1
43+
ls /usr/lib/jvm/ # 2
44+
sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy openjdk-25-jdk-headless # 3
45+
# 4: Adoptium source for 26; jdk.java.net/valhalla for the JEP 401 EA build
46+
```
47+
48+
Full ladder, with the verified-by-execution table and the commands:
49+
`.claude/knowledge/jdk-toolchain-facts.md` § ACQUISITION LADDER.
50+
51+
## Verdicts
52+
53+
- **VERIFIABLE-NOW** — a rung succeeded. The Java half is a gate, not an
54+
aspiration; run `AllTests` and report the 409 line. Naming the rung you used
55+
is part of the report.
56+
- **NEEDS-FETCH** — only the Valhalla EA is missing (`value class` /
57+
`value record`). That is rung 4 and genuinely not on apt. Say so precisely
58+
and name `jdk.java.net/valhalla`; do NOT generalize it to "no JDK".
59+
- **GENUINELY-ABSENT** — all four rungs failed. Report which, with output.
60+
This has never been observed; treat it as a finding worth recording, not as
61+
a routine excuse.
62+
63+
## What this card does NOT license
64+
65+
`valhalla-lab/` and `bench/` are **measurement arms, not gates**. Their absence
66+
never blocks a merge and must not be reported as if it did. The merge gate is
67+
the Rust suite plus the 409-check `AllTests` run.
68+
69+
And `--enable-preview` is a **classfile-poisoning flag**: every class compiled
70+
with it can only run with it, transitively. Never let a preview-compiled class
71+
reach the path a production consumer loads — that is why the Valhalla-flavoured
72+
sources are physically separate from `java/`.
73+
74+
## Why the Java half is worth this much guarding
75+
76+
Operator, 2026-09-16: *"java is the low code intake glove around the
77+
lance-graph spine — lance-graph-java just happens to offer the menu to the
78+
table in a pleasing way, using masking ops, offering 5 star for the price of a
79+
blink."*
80+
81+
The menu is the whole product. `view.where(..).hop(..).count()` reads as
82+
ordinary Java and costs a blink because **the work and the data are both
83+
somewhere else**, and Java is never told. That fluency is exactly what a
84+
409-check run protects: it is the only thing standing between "a pleasing
85+
menu" and "a pleasing menu that lies about what the kitchen did." Shipping it
86+
unverified forfeits the product, not a test.
87+
88+
> **⊘ CORRECTED, same day — the menu is BORING, and the example above is the
89+
> wrong one.** Operator: *"Java doesnt use masking ops. `Mask.minus()`,
90+
> `RowStore.hop()`. Lance-graph does. Java just sees boring `sql()` handed to
91+
> duckdb."* and *"nobody should ever start trying to optimize Java (except
92+
> making it boring front)."* So `view.where(..).hop(..).count()` is the mask
93+
> algebra on the wrong side of the wall, not the product. Read the paragraph
94+
> above with `sql("select …")` in its place; every word of it still holds, and
95+
> the reason the 409-check run matters is unchanged — it is what keeps a
96+
> boring surface honest instead of a disguise, since **the boringness is handed
97+
> down zero-copy**. The endgame: low-code *"Bring your own software"* against
98+
> Palantir Foundry, where novel API is lock-in-by-learning-curve and therefore
99+
> the enemy. Full ruling: `CLAUDE.md` § "THE JAVA SURFACE IS `sql()`, NOT THE
100+
> MASK ALGEBRA".
101+
102+
The allocation the menu sits on (operator, same day):
103+
104+
| what | lives in | membrane that keeps Java out of it |
105+
|---|---|---|
106+
| **thinking** | lance-graph | **Panama** — computation never lives in Java |
107+
| **SIMD** | ndarray | the `ndarray::simd` facade (see `simd-savant`) |
108+
| **storage** | lance-graph | **Valhalla** — storage never lives in Java |
109+
110+
Panama and Valhalla are ORTHOGONAL guarantees, not a layer and not a pair —
111+
see `CLAUDE.md` § "the simd.rs isomorphism", whose middle row is explicitly
112+
marked wrong for exactly this reason.
