It's long surpassed the single-responsibility library it once was, and is as such out of place in its original location, and fits better among the function-type modules.
Roll back to JDK 21 for now, and make Java version configurable in the root build.gradle
The project has run into no less than three distinct show-stopping bugs in JDK22, across multiple vendors, and gradle still doesn't fully support it, meaning you need multiple JDK versions installed.
Seems to work, tests are green and initial testing finds no errors. Still a bit untested, committing WIP as-is because it would suck to lose weeks of work due to a drive failure or something.
Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one.
While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.
