The change is captured in commit 991097b7bf08cc1a4ceedb0c555b12948ae71885 (message: "8315066: Add unsigned bounds and known bits to TypeInt/Long").

Monthly summary for 2025-04 focusing on runtime type-safety enhancements in the JIT path. Key feature delivered: Runtime verification for CastII and CastLL casts in the C2 compiler, introducing new instructions and helper functions to validate that cast values stay within the bounds of their target types. The verification is controllable via the VerifyConstraintCasts JVM flag for debugging and validation of casting behavior. No major bugs reported for this repo this month. Overall impact: enhances runtime safety, reduces casting-related errors in hot paths, and strengthens confidence in JIT optimizations. Key technologies/skills demonstrated: C2 compiler internals, runtime verification instrumentation, low-level code instrumentation, and JVM flag-based diagnostics. Top achievements: - Implemented runtime verification for CastII/CastLL casts in the C2 compiler. - Added new instructions and helper functions to enforce cast bounds at runtime. - Exposed debugging/validation via VerifyConstraintCasts flag. - Commit reference: ed604038ffc4ca64113984324dde71c07f046b52 (8346836: C2: Verify CastII/CastLL bounds at runtime).

March 2025: Focused on enhancing performance of the JetBrainsRuntime by optimizing the SegmentFactories allocation path.
