Research direction

Start at capi/src/software_renderer.rs:15 and trace the configuration used to produce the precompiled binaries, checking how the software renderer is selected or omitted. Reproduce the Java 21/JNA failure on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, then verify that the resulting precompiled binary includes the software renderer.
