cljbridge fails to create Java VM

This:
cljbridge.init_jvm(start_repl=True)

results in:
RuntimeError: Failed to create Java VM. Return code = -1

My context

• MacOS 15.7.2, Python 3.9.6
• tested with Java temurin@17 & temurin@21 (via brew install)

Error

At commandline:

cljbridge version: 0.0.8

(.venv) % python3 -m pip install cljbridge
Requirement already satisfied: cljbridge in ./.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages (0.0.8)

首先，使用报告中的 macOS 和 Java 版本重现 cljbridge.init_jvm(start_repl=True)，然后检查 clojurebridge.cljbridge.init_jvm 及其对 javabridge.start_vm 的调用。跟踪 JVM 参数，直到确定导致“Unrecognized option”的空选项。达到的标准是，报告中的 Java 17 或 21 配置能够成功启动 VM 且不出现该错误。
