Use `mvn --no-snapshot-updates clean package` instead of `mvn -U clean package` or `mvn -o clean package`.
+
+          **Critical override — do NOT run the jar:** Stop after the `mvn --no-snapshot-updates clean package` build succeeds. Do NOT execute Step 4 (java -jar) or Step 5 (verify exit code) from the prompt. The workflow will run the jar in a separate deterministic step to guarantee the exit code propagates correctly.
+
+          Follow steps 1-3 only: create the `smoke-test/` directory, create `pom.xml` and the Java source file exactly as specified, and build with `mvn --no-snapshot-updates clean package` (no SNAPSHOT updates and without `-U`).

+          If any step fails, exit with a non-zero exit code. Do not silently fix errors.

The Quick Start code contains inline comments that start with `// JDK 25+:` — these are instructions. Find every such comment and follow what it says (comment out lines it says to comment out, uncomment lines it says to uncomment). Add any imports required by the newly uncommented code (e.g. `java.util.concurrent.Executors`).
+          Also set `maven.compiler.source` and `maven.compiler.target` to `25` in the `pom.xml`.
+
+          Follow steps 1-3 only: create the `smoke-test/` directory, create `pom.xml` and the Java source file exactly as specified, apply the JDK 25 virtual thread modifications described above, and build with `mvn --no-snapshot-updates clean package` (no SNAPSHOT updates and without `-U`).

+# Installation
+
+ℹ️ **Public Preview:** This is the official Java SDK for GitHub Copilot. This repository treats the official .NET and Node.js SDKs for GitHub Copilot as reference implementations. These SDKs are all officially supported as GitHub open source projects. The Java implementation follows the backward compatibility guarantees offered by the reference implementations.
+
+⚠️ **Artifact versioning plan:** Releases of this implementation track releases of the reference implementation. For each release of the reference implementation, there may follow a corresponding release of this implementation with the same number as the reference implementation. Release identifiers of the reference implementation are in the form `vMaj.Min.Micro`. For example v0.1.32. The corresponding maven version for the release will be `Maj.Min.Micro-java.N`, where `Maj`, `Min` and `Micro` are the corresponding numbers for the reference implementation release, and `N` is a monotonically increasing sequence number starting with 0 for each release. See the corresponding architectural decision record for more information in the `docs/adr` directory of the source code.
