Summary
[Java](https://adoptium.net/)link from the README prerequisites line — just say "Java 21+"AGENTS.md: never link to a specific Java distribution in docs or READMEsWhy
Linking to Adoptium implies we endorse it over OpenJDK, Amazon Corretto, SDKMAN, Homebrew, etc. Users install Java however they like; we shouldn't steer them. The link also goes stale when distro names or URLs change.
User impact
New users reading the README prerequisites will see "Java 21+" with no vendor attached — accurate, neutral, and future-proof.
Note on issue reference
Fixes conductor-oss/getting-started#1— the broken quickstart URL from that issue was already resolved in #930. This PR closes it out by removing the last Adoptium link, which was the other rough edge from the same original report.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
