JMOA 2.0.0-rc2

JMOA 2.0.0-rc2

RC2 is a release-hardening candidate. It publishes the plugin/runtime artifacts
with checksums and a sanitized public evidence archive for the final PetClinic
customers-service comparisons.

Reproducible Claim

Under the exact public EXPLODED_BOOT_APP, NO_CDS_LOW_DIRTY,
MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1, no-CDS/no-javaagent protocol, final V2 improved on
finalized V1 across 2/3 paired runs:

• median PSS: -6,012 KB
• median Private_Dirty: -5,708 KB
• median memory.current: -8,081,408 B

V2-C returned CONFIRMED_WIN; V2-D identifies heap page-touch reduction as
the primary attribution. This is an incremental, service-specific claim. It is
not a startup, universal Spring Boot, fat-JAR, CDS, or direct B0-to-V2 claim.

Direct Baseline Boundary

The historical B0-to-V2 three-pair record is preserved for provenance, but its
raw capture was unavailable. A fresh exact-image five-pair replication was
valid but mixed (2/5 PSS wins, median PSS +585 KB), so RC2 does not claim a
direct baseline win.

Consumer Qualification

The published RC1 assets were downloaded, checksummed, installed into an
isolated Maven repository, and used for a clean PetClinic quickstart through
exploded-Boot materialization and semantic smoke. RC2 carries the same
qualification path plus the public evidence archive.
