This usually means that Java has been updated on the machine and the agent needs to be restarted. We only test on debian 11 for Node.js 20 and 22, so this won't show up in CI runs for Node.js 24, 25 and main unless this spreads to Debian 12 and/or the Ubuntu machines.

So this does appear to have spread to the DigitalOcean Debian 12 x64 machine, which now has Java 17.0.17+10-Debian-1deb12u1.
The other two Debian 12 x64 machines (Rackspace and IBM Cloud (Softlayer)) are still Java 17.0.16+8-Debian-1deb12u1 with no updates available (yet?).

I've restarted the agents on the Debian 11 x64 machines (both now Java 17.0.17+10-Debian-1deb11u1) and the Debian 12 x64 machines, but we might need to restart the agent again on the Rackspace and Softlayer Debian 12 x64 machines when they get the Java update.
